Kariesdetektor (Caries Detector)

A caries detector is a dye used in dental practice to distinguish carious tooth substance inside cavities from healthy tooth substance, thereby facilitating and making clinical inspection safer. The page discusses various types including chemical caries detectors (dye applications) and physical detection methods such as fluorescence procedures (DiagnoDent, VistaPro, VistaCam, SoproLife), fiber-optic transillumination (DiagnoCam), and electrical resistance measurement. Chemical caries detectors and caries relevators are dye applications with caries affinity and adhesive properties used for clinical inspection during caries excavation procedures.
