Description

The major goal of the next generation caries management as described by the term “Minimal Invasive Caries Approach” ensures the preservation of tooth vitality even in advanced caries affected clinical lesions. To be able to treat a disease, diagnosis has to be performed. Advanced technologies using non ionizing diagnosis devices have come out of their infancy and created enough evidence for their implementation in clinical practice. Magnification combined with fluorescence light tissue excitation are jointly guaranteed by the presented Reveal technology.

Classic caries “detection” describes visual, tactile and radiographic approaches clearly addressing “detection” of physical hard tissue modifications.

Objectives

• Understand the difference between “classic” caries diagnosis tools and next generation approaches fluorescence based.
• Comprehend the concept of caries lesion activity.
• Learn how to apply fluorescence for caries removal guidance.
• Get information about the application of fluorescence in different dental specialties.
