Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the challenge of effectively removing caries from dentine without damaging too much healthy tissue, as there is no current diagnostic tool to determine the limit for caries removal.
- Researchers conducted a randomized trial with 90 patients at a dental clinic in northeastern Nigeria, testing three diagnostic methods to find residual caries after cavity preparation: visual-tactile, caries detector dye (CDD), and laser fluorescence (LF).
- The effectiveness of these methods was assessed by an independent investigator through the examination of residual caries and bacterial culture samples collected from the prepared cavities.
