FLUORESCENCE-ENHANCED “THERAGNOSIS” for Minimally Invasive Caries Management
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the difference between “classic” caries lesion diagnosis and fluorescence-enhanced therapy and diagnosis
- Conceptualize minimally invasive caries management and caries therapy combined with diagnosis (theragnosis)
- Visually differentiate various phases of active caries lesions
- Identify hard tissue worth preserving during minimally invasive caries management
- Follow a step-by-step protocol for diagnosis, subsequent differential diagnosis, and then treatment option selection.
Abstract
Diagnosis of caries is the prerequisite for treatment choice selection. Management of caries lesions adopted the concept of minimal invasiveness with the goal to conserve as much dental tissue as possible. Classic caries removal does not support the actual concept of minimal invasiveness. New, proven, and evidence-based devices have stepped in, ensuring that the diagnostic process is able to gather all needed information related to any given caries lesion in question to grant a minimally invasive treatment option, leaving as much tooth structure intact as possible and, thereby, facilitating restorative material choice in accordance with the diagnosed caries specifi city. “Theragnosis” combines therapy and diagnosis through fl uorescence-enhanced magnification, making true minimally invasive caries management possible.
