PG - 757-63 LID - 10.1007/s00784-012-0770-9 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine the origin of the red fluorescence of carious dentine observed with the Soprolife(R) camera. METHODS: We conducted in vitro studies to evaluate the origin of the red fluorescence using acids and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) to mimic caries and methylglycoxal (MGO) to evaluate the effect of glycation reactions on the red fluorescence. In every step of these models, we detected the changes of dentin photonic response with Soprolife(R) in daylight mode and in treatment mode. A Raman spectroscopy analysis was performed to determine the variations of the dentin organic during the in vitro caries processes. Raman microscopy was performed to identify change in the collagen matrix of dentine. RESULTS: The red fluorescence observed in carious dentine using a Soprolife(R) camera corresponds to the brownish color observed using daylight. Demineralization using nitric acid induces a loss of the green fluorescence of dentine. The red fluorescence of carious dentine is resistant to acid treatment. Immersion of demineralized dentine in MGO induces a change of color from white to orange-red. This indicates that the Maillard reaction contributes to lesion coloration. Immersion of demineralized dentine in an MMP-1 solution followed by MGO treatment results in a similar red fluorescence. Raman microspectroscopy analysis reveals accumulation of AGE's product in red-colored dentine. CONCLUSIONS: Our results provide important information on the origin of the fluorescence variation of dentine observed with the Soprolife(R) camera. We demonstrate that the red fluorescence of carious dentine is linked to the accumulation of Advanced Glycation End products (AGE). CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The study provides a new biological basis for the red fluorescence of carious dentine and reinforces the importance of the Soprolife(R) camera in caries diagnostics.
