Aim:The aim of this systematic review was to assess the in vivo scientific evidence regarding the ability of a recently developed light fluorescence device, SoproLife ® (Sopro-Acteon group, La Ciotat, France) in detecting occlusal carious lesions.The PubMed database was searched for in vivo trials that evaluated the validity of the SoproLife ® camera for the detection of occlusal carious lesions. Among the 11 articles originally identified with the keyword "Soprolife," only three articles were included.The three included surveys used the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS)-II criteria as gold standard for the assessment of SoproLife ® compared or not to other detection devices (DIAGNOdent ® and Spectra Caries Detection Aid ® ). Two of the included studies reported only on permanent teeth or both primary and permanent teeth. The SoproLife ® validity values varied markedly among studies with a sensitivity ranging between 0.43 and 0.95 and a specificity between 0.55 and 1. Interobserver reproducibility with the SoproLife ® was reported in two of the three studies (0.98 and 0.72) and none of the studies reported about intraobserver reproducibility.No clear-cut conclusion can be made based on the three included clinical studies; further in vivo investigations are needed to confirm the validity of the SoproLife ® camera in terms of detection of occlusal carious lesions.

“…Thus, the values shown by DIAGNOdent guide the treatment plan (Table 1 and Table 2). 12,13 In this article, we present our attempts and results in using silver nanoparticles solution in two cases of dental decays, a superficial decay and a deep carious lesion, in comparison with chlorhexidine.…”

“…Of course, chlorhexidine is not capable to destroy all viable microorganisms, but it is able to reduce the bacterial microflora. [11][12][13] Some studies have shown that chlorhexidine can be used in therapy as well, due to its ability to improve the adhesion of resins to dentin. 13 Nanocare Plus (Dental Nanotechnology, Katowice, Poland) contains a concentration of 50 ppm silver and 1 ppm gold.…”

Introduction: Dental decays remain the most common and rampant biofilm-dependent oral disorders. Influencing the delicate dynamic between demineralization and remineralization is a big challenge in clinical practice, and nanotechnology is considered a viable solution. The therapeutic management of caries, which includes nanotechnology, has two big approaches, an antibacterial one and a remineralizing one. Silver is recognized to display a powerful toxicity to a large variety of micro-organisms, thus silver-based composites have been widely used in several bactericidal applications. Case report: We present our attempts and results in using silver nanoparticle solutions on a 14-year-old and a 34-year-old patient with dental decays and no previous dental pain. One of the cases was treated with chlorhexidine 2% and the other with Nanocare Plus, as antimicrobial agents. In both cases we recorded decreased values of the bacterial burden in comparison with the initial values. Conclusion: This two-case presentation compared the antibacterial effect of two antibacterial solutions, providing useful information regarding novel therapies for dental caries, but further research in this domain is needed.
