Caries removal can be reproducible — this means consistent regardless of patient or practitioner. Caries detecting dye is essential to creating reproducible caries removal endpoints, but the techniques doctors pair with the dye are what prevent pulp exposure and maximize bond strength.
When Dr. David Alleman pioneered his methods for determining caries removal endpoints, he found that any doctor he trained could achieve the same predictable caries treatment that he saw in his own cases. How caries is treated is the first step in a restoration and determines whether that restoration succeeds or whether that restoration fails.
