Snoop™ Caries Detecting Dye by Pulpdent is an essential diagnostic tool designed to assist dental professionals in identifying infected carious dentin swiftly and accurately. Its dark blue dye formulation provides a stark contrast against dentin and pulp, facilitating the differentiation between infected and affected dentin layers within just 10 seconds.
Key Features:
- Rapid Detection: Distinguishes between outer infected and inner affected dentin in 10 seconds, aiding in conservative cavity preparations.
- High Contrast Visualization: Dark blue color enhances visibility, allowing for precise identification of carious lesions, even in challenging areas.
- Selective Staining: Targets denatured collagen present in infected dentin, ensuring only non-remineralizable tissue is marked for removal.
- Propylene Glycol Base: Offers improved accuracy over water-based formulas, ensuring reliable results.
- Conservative Approach: Helps preserve vital, remineralizable dentin, aligning with minimally invasive dentistry principles.
Application Instructions:
- Isolate the tooth using a rubber dam to prevent contamination.
- Rinse and dry the treatment area thoroughly.
- Apply Snoop™ directly to the cavity using the provided applicator or a microbrush.
- Allow the dye to sit for 10 seconds to ensure adequate staining.
- Rinse the cavity with water while applying suction, then dry.
- Remove the stained dentin using a low-speed handpiece with a round bur or an excavator.
- Repeat the application process until no staining is observed, indicating complete removal of infected dentin.
For optimal results, apply Snoop™ early in the cavity preparation process to avoid unnecessary removal of healthy tooth structure.
Packaging: 12 mL bottle with optional dispensing straws available separately.
Note: Handle with care to avoid staining clothing or surrounding materials. In case of contact, wash immediately with soap and water.
