Kuraray Caries Detector

CARIES DETECTOR is an excellent caries disclosing agent for conservative dentistry. It aids in the excavation of the outer decalcified and infected carious dentine layer, permitting optimal caries removal. It also helps minimize the removal of remineralized, healthy dentin, protecting the vitality of the pulp and, as a resut, conserve the maximal amount of healthy tissue.

CARIES DETECTOR provides support for the excavation of the demineralized outer tooth hard structure affected by the caries, making it possible to remove the caries as completely as possible. At the same time, it makes sure that as little healthy dentin which can be remineralized is removed as possible, secures pulp vitality, and preserves the healthy tooth structure. Numerous studies have shown that it is not possible to distinguish, either optically or mechanically using the sensor test, between irreversibly diseased dentin and healthy dentin which can be remineralized. Using CARIES DETECTOR, you can confidently proceed with the excavation because only the irreversibly diseased dentin is stained red.
