Kuraray Caries Detector – a caries indicator for dentin
The Caries Detector from Kuraray Noritake is an effective tool for identifying caries and plays a crucial role in maintaining and protecting the patient’s dental health. It helps you identify and treat the caries-affected areas of the tooth’s demineralized outer structure, making it possible to nearly completely eliminate caries. At the same time, it helps minimize the removal of healthy dentin that has the potential to remineralize. This supports the preservation of pulp vitality and a healthy tooth structure.
Studies show that it is difficult to distinguish, both visually and using mechanical methods, between irreversibly damaged dentin and dentin that can be remineralized. By using Caries Detector, you can safely continue the excavation, as only irreversibly damaged dentin is marked in red.
