Causality of the caries process has been identified as a combination of hard tissue dissolution and bacterial contamination. The physical presence of some of the caries pathogenic bacteria containing endogenous fluorophores can be visualized using high energy blue light. Once excited this internal fluorophore will emit light at a different wavelength which can be visualized and support the caries diagnosis process.
Successful bacterial elimination out of the hard tissue structure is today the major treatment approach for disease elimination. Visualization of successful bacterial decontamination favors a more conservative treatment approach securing and raising the success of minimal invasive dentistry allowing selective hard tissue removal and additional in situ disinfection.
