How to Use Caries Detector Dye and Create a Biobase
A foundational understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of caries is fundamental to success in Biomimetic Dentistry. A clean, highly bondable substrate is essential to create a defect-driven Biobase. Through the use of Caries Detector Dye, Dr Nowais Awan demonstrates how to establish reliable Caries Removal Endpoints, ensuring a clean, bondable dentine surface for optimal restorative outcomes. Dr Awan walks through each stage of the Biobase formation process, including Immediate Dentine Sealing (IDS), Resin Coating, and strategic layering of composites, incorporating Ribbond and short fibre-reinforced composites when needed. With a focus on clinical examples and step-by-step case documentation, this lecture offers practical, unbiased advice on gold-standard materials and techniques to help achieve more predictable and durable results.
