At times, I have loved the idea of caries indicators
more than I loved the caries indicators themselves.
Whether it was the time it took to set up the syringe
or place it in a dappen dish and grab a cotton pellet,
there were times when I would revert to using my
sight and tactile feel to diagnose caries. Somewhere
inside, I knew I could be fooled by caries and that
it would be more accurate to stain the teeth; I just
needed the right product to help me introduce it into
an efficient routine. Enter Exposé from Centrix. Leave
it to Centrix to figure out a way to impregnate caries
indicator onto the tip of one of their Benda Micro applicators.
Simply wet the tip of the brush (or if the
tooth is already wet, you can leave the brush dry).
Brush the prep with the tip of the brush and rinse.
The Exposé material remains on the affected dentin.
After removal, simply brush suspicious areas of the
prep again and rinse. It’s simple and accurate, and a
caries indicator is now part of my standard routine.
