Abstract Aim LumiCare™ Caries Detection Rinse (LC Rinse), a starch-based rinse, illuminates active initial caries (positive response) using dental curing light, thus augmenting the dentist’s visual examination. This clinical study investigated if active caries as assessed by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) were more likely to have positive LC Rinse response than sound surfaces and inactive caries. Methods 25 subjects participated in the study.
