Dentistry Live: ICON – an ICONIC transformation
Join us on Thursday 18 June at 7pm for Cat Edney's upcoming Dentistry Live session as she explores how ICON resin infiltration can transform the way you approach enamel defects, giving you a predictable, minimally invasive option for managing aesthetic concerns in everyday practice.
Aesthetic dentistry doesn’t always need to be restorative.
In this session, Cat will walk through how to assess and manage enamel lesions using ICON, helping you understand when infiltration is appropriate, when it isn’t, and how to achieve consistent, natural-looking results.
You’ll be guided through the full clinical workflow: from diagnosis and case selection, through to etching, infiltration and finishing, with practical tips that can be applied immediately in practice.
There will also be discussion around how ICON fits into a wider treatment plan, including its relationship with tooth whitening, composite and orthodontics, allowing you to build a more confident and conservative approach to aesthetic care.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about when or how to use ICON, or want to improve your outcomes, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.
