  • Resumen
    • This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Fluorescence Aided Caries Excavation (FACE) and the remaining dentin thickness on the temperature changes of the pulp chamber.

      Freshly extracted deciduous molars and a pulpal microcirculation model were used in the study. The sample size was calculated according to power analyses (power at 90%) based on previous studies. Thus, 40 samples were needed. Standard cavities (3x3 mm) were designed to obtain a 2 mm distance through to the pulp chamber, and in each tooth (n=10), these cavities were modified to obtain 1.5 mm, 1mm, and 0.5 mm final distance through to the pulp. Coronal parts of the teeth were placed on an acrylic plate with three gaps for feeding and extraction needles and the thermocouple. The temperature changes were recorded from the initial time to 15 s and 30 s,1 min, 1.5 min, 2 min, 2.5 min, 3 min intervals.

      The results showed that hence the thickness between cavity floor and pulp chamber was decreased, and application time of FACE was increased, an increase in temperature changes was detected. However, the recorded values were not mean to cause irreversible damages to the pulp chamber.

      The recent study showed that Face is an appropriate caries detecting system that does not affect the pulp chamber’s health, and it can be safely used in the primary teeth.
