Device typeDental caries detecting stain: A liquid substance intended for use in dentistry as a staining agent to detect early stage dental caries and/or to monitor the progress of caries. It typically consists of two solutions (e.g., metal fluorides) that are applied separately to the suspect area of the tooth/teeth, and change colour in the presence of the caries-producing bacteria or bacterial residues, and/or remnants of the tooth structure from a carious lesion. The staining produced can be monitored over time to assess the progression/remission of the caries. After application, this device cannot be reused.
