Used to provide a visual of the location of carious dentin, caries detection dyes are applied directly to the teeth being treated. Healthy tissue is unaffected, while the infected dentin takes on the color of the dye. These materials are available in different colors and feature different delivery methods. When choosing a caries detection dye, it’s important to consider how the dye will be applied to the teeth and how the color will stand out from other tissues.
