In this episode, Dr. Germán Dorgan spoke to us about caries detection dye and helped us understand how to use it properly.

Measure 5mm from the cusp tip and 3mm from the adjacent marginal ridge - do not remove caries beyond this point. As a guide, this will help you not expose the pulp so you achieve very clean dentine for highest bond strengths, without worrying about 'when to stop'.

Like I know lots of dentists who've seen it and they think this is just a fad. This is as useful as those photos of people holding cucumbers between their teeth. Jaz's Introduction:Is there actually any sign or useful applications because caries, as some colleagues would say, I just use my high magnification, my good lighting and my probe. I don't need a fancy dye to tell me if I got caries or not. I'm experienced enough to know that I've removed caries. Now, you know what? I kind of felt that way. I was like, do I really need a dye? I'm think I'm pretty good at moving caries and too fair. Since I've been using it, it's kind of confirmed that I'm pretty good at removing caries. Okay. I'm happy to say that I'm proud enough to say that. However, one in five, one in six times I see a pink haze where it shouldn't be. You'll find out what that pink haze means in this episode, but it's really useful objective data. So we'll speak to Dr. Germán Dorgan, all about caries deck to die, how to actually use it properly. What is the evidence space behind it, and how to interpret the data that you get by using it. Hello, Protruserati. I'm Jaz Gulati and welcome back to the Protrusive Dental Podcast.
