COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODS OF EXCAVATION CONTROL FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE CARIES TREATMENT
On the other hand , during excavation controlled by the fluorescent control method , the color characteristic of the dentine when the fluorescence signal disappears indicates the presence of partially demineralized but non-infected dentine , which can be preserved doing cavity preparation . Thus the fluorescent control allows selective and gentle excavation , which is recommended in minimally invasive treatment of dentinal caries .
