Minimal invasive therapy has been becoming more important day by day in dentistry. In minimally invasive dentistry, only the infected dentin is removed and the affected dentin is left behind while preparing to repair a cavity. Healthy enamel and dentin have particular fluorescence properties, compared to demineralized dental tissues, which absorb less light and thereby have a lower level of fluorescence properties. It helps clinicians detect caries and apply the most appropriate treatment strategy during cavity preparation. This study investigated the efficacy of the SoproLife camera system which is a novel light-induced fluorescence camera system.
