Abstract:
1. A method for treatment of hard tooth tissue, comprising: (A) infiltration and sealing of hard tooth tissue with a composition comprising: (B) detecting caries in the infiltrated region of the hard tooth tissue or under the seal of the hard tooth tissue by means of fluorescence, and/or (C) determining changes in the condition of the seal of the hard tooth tissue by means of fluorescence, wherein step (B) and/or step (C) occur after step (A), wherein the cured composition results in a sealing material which, at a layer thickness of 1 mm, has a transmission of 70% or more for perpendicularly incident radiation, wherein (a) the transmission is determined in the entire wavelength spectrum of visual light, and/or (b) the transmission is determined at a wavelength of 500 nm.
