COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODS OF EXCAVATION CONTROL FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE CARIES TREATMENT
On the other hand, during excavation controlled by the fluorescent control method, the color characteristic of the dentine when the fluorescence signal disappears indicates the presence of partially demineralized but non-infected dentine, which can be preserved doing cavity preparation. Thus the fluorescent control allows selective and gentle excavation, which is recommended in minimally invasive treatment of dentinal caries.
