Why the hell don't you just put fluorescent pigments or dyes in the filling composite in the first place? Then all you would need is a UV light? If it was your teeth wouldn't you rather a doctor just shine a uv flashlight on you rather than melt your teeth with acid.
Fluorescence is complex and adding fluorophores affects the overall luminescence of material, which alters its visible emissions under sunlight and other ambient sources, such as disco lighting. People want invisible fillings, not ones that become distinguishable under varying ambient light conditions. Also, etching teeth with acid is a highly conservative approach to restoring them.
Thx a lot dr....and sometimes we can do it by light cure
Light cure helps you see composite?
that was so helpful thank you
But will the etch get through all layers or you need to etch and shave, etch and shave? Also does the etch compromise enamel?
what enamel?
@@danielbrowniel yes, natural tooth (enamel)
Im joking, "as if the acid ate all the enamel away"@@AllThangsPretti
Just use uv torch light that’s used to detect pet urine .
