Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the detection of tooth demineralisation. More specifically, the method concerns exposing a tooth to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a complex capable of producing an optical signal characteristic of the presence of free ions and detecting the resulting optical signal, and a kit for the detection of active demineralisation at tooth surfaces using such method.
Abstract: A detection device for active dental caries and/or tooth erosion, comprising a light detection means, fluid dispensing means, and an atomiser, wherein the fluid dispensing means and atomiser are in fluid communication such that a disclosing fluid contained within the fluid dispensing means is dispensed through the atomiser evenly onto a surface of interest.
