CarioMark – Caries Indicator Dye

CarioMark – Caries Indicator Dye

CarioMark is a glycol-based caries indicator dye designed to provide visual assistance during cavity preparation. The green dye highlights areas of altered or demineralized dentin, helping clinicians identify stained dentin during caries removal.
Moreover, the contrasting green colour improves visualization of the treatment area. Therefore, clinicians can use CarioMark as an adjunct during conservative cavity preparation. However, clinicians should always interpret dye staining together with clinical findings rather than use colour alone to determine the extent of caries removal.

Clinical Applications

• Visual identification of altered or carious dentin during cavity preparation
• Adjunctive assessment during caries removal
• Support during conservative and minimally invasive cavity preparation
• Visualization of areas that may require further clinical assessment
• Chairside aid during restorative procedures involving carious dentin

Key Features

• High-Contrast Green Dye – Provides clear visual contrast on stained dentin during cavity preparation.
• Glycol-Based Formulation – The liquid formulation supports controlled application to the prepared cavity.
• Visual Clinical Aid – Helps clinicians identify stained areas during caries removal.
• Supports Conservative Preparation – Moreover, visual guidance can assist clinicians during selective and controlled cavity preparation.
• Simple Chairside Application – Clinicians can apply the solution to the required area and rinse it according to the recommended procedure.

Why Choose CarioMark?

Clear Visual Contrast
CarioMark provides a contrasting green colour on stained dentin.
Therefore, clinicians can more easily visualize areas that require further clinical evaluation during cavity preparation.

Supports Controlled Caries Removal
The dye serves as a visual adjunct during caries removal. As a result, clinicians can combine the staining pattern with tactile and other clinical findings when determining the appropriate extent of preparation.

Suitable for Conservative Dentistry
CarioMark supports a conservative approach to cavity preparation. Moreover, clinicians can use the visual information alongside clinical judgment to help avoid unnecessary removal of tooth structure.

Convenient Chairside Use
The liquid format allows controlled application to the prepared cavity. In addition, clinicians can incorporate the application and rinsing steps into routine restorative procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is CarioMark?

CarioMark is a glycol-based caries indicator dye. Clinicians use it as a visual adjunct during cavity preparation and caries removal.

2. What colour is CarioMark?

CarioMark uses a green indicator dye. Therefore, stained areas provide visual contrast against the surrounding tooth structure.

3. What is CarioMark used for?

Clinicians use CarioMark to help visualize altered or carious dentin during cavity preparation. Moreover, it can support controlled caries-removal procedures.

4. Does CarioMark determine exactly which dentin must be removed?

No. Dye staining alone should not determine the endpoint of caries removal. Instead, clinicians should interpret the staining together with tactile findings, lesion characteristics, clinical judgment, and the planned restorative approach.

5. Is CarioMark suitable for minimally invasive dentistry?

CarioMark can serve as a visual adjunct during conservative cavity preparation. Therefore, it may support minimally invasive treatment approaches when clinicians use it together with appropriate clinical assessment.

6. Is CarioMark intended for professional use?

Yes. CarioMark is intended for professional dental use.
