Caries infiltration

Act earlier. Longer preserved.

The so-called caries infiltration offers a completely new possibility to stop incipient caries early in just one session - without drilling and without sacrificing healthy tooth substance.
However, this is only possible for very small, incipient lesions.

The "infiltrant", a highly fluid plastic, penetrates into the porous enamel caries and seals the diffusion paths for cariogenic acids. Thus, the caries can be stopped early, in the interdental space as well as on smooth surfaces.

Caries infiltration closes the treatment gap between prevention (fluoridation and waiting) and invasive restorative therapy.

Indication, treatment steps and advantages

In these two videos you will be shown briefly and clearly how the treatment works. For both areas of application - interdental spaces and smooth surfaces - the most important steps and decisive aspects are presented.

Costs

The procedure has not yet been included in the catalogue of services provided by the statutory health insurance scheme or in the German scale of fees for dentists (GOZ) and must therefore be invoiced privately.
