ICON® white spot treatment in Paris

A white spot is an appearance, not a diagnosis. Its cause and depth determine whether resin infiltration can reduce its contrast.

Assessment and minimally invasive management of white spots with whitening, resin infiltration and local restoration when indicated.

Diagnosis

Fluorosis, hypomineralisation and post-orthodontic lesions do not necessarily require the same sequence.

Whitening

Balancing the general tooth shade first may reduce contrast and clarify what still needs local treatment.

Infiltration

After controlled surface conditioning, a low-viscosity resin infiltrates porosities and changes how light travels through the lesion.

Limits

Deeper lesions may respond only partially and sometimes require a very localised composite restoration.

Begin with a diagnosis.
