A procedure for treating dental caries is described comprising the steps of gaining access to a carious lesion, contacting the lesion with a photosensitiser, activating the photosensitiser by exposing the lesion to light of a wavelength which is absorbed by the photosensitiser using an optical fibre permitting illumination of the area of the lesion to kill bacteria in the region of the lesion, and infusing the treated dentine with a polymerisable sealing or filling composition and causing said composition to cure.
La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de traiter les caries dentaires. Ce procédé consiste à accéder à la lésion carieuse, à mettre cette lésion en contact avec un photosensibilisant, à activer ce photosensibilisant en exposant la lésion à la lumière d'une longueur d'onde qui est absorbée par le photosensibilisant à l'aide d'une fibre optique qui permet d'illuminer la zone de la lésion de façon à tuer les bactéries présentes dans cette zone, et à placer une composition polymérisable pour produit d'obturation, et à faire en sorte que ladite composition guérisse.
