How to Use Caries Detector Dye and Create a Biobase.

presented by:
Dr Nowais Awan

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.

Aims & Objectives:

1) Understand how to use Caries Detector Dye to effectively remove caries while preserving pulp vitality and achieve a Peripheral Seal Zone and establish Caries Removal Endpoints.
2) Gain insights into Immediate Dentine Sealing (IDS), Resin Coating, and composite layering to create a highly bondable and durable Biobase.
3) Gain impartial recommendations on the most effective materials for Biobase formation to enhance bond strength and durability.
4) Learn through detailed, step-by-step case examples that showcase how to apply these techniques in everyday clinical practice for more predictable and successful outcomes.
