摘要：
A dental composition and method for detecting carious tissue on the surface of a tooth, and the use of the dental composition to manufacture a remedy for detection of carious tissue. The dental composition can comprise an aqueous solution of 1) at least one acidic compound, 2) at least one salt of said acidic compound, 3) at least one indicator that generates a detectable signal when said solution reaches a particular pH value that is less than 5.5； wherein 1) and 2) are selected such that the aqueous solution has a pH of less than that particular pH value where the indicator generates the signal. The method can comprise the steps of 1) providing the above mentioned dental composition, 2) applying said composition to the surface of said tooth, and 3) measuring the amount of time required for the composition to change color.
