title: Searching for consensus.
abstract: Although caution is expressed by some in relying solely on caries detector dye for diagnosis until more research is done, many aspects of microdentistry are bringing exciting potential to operative dentistry. Perhaps pediatric dentists will find microdentistry the most promising because of its application for long-lasting sealants and less traumatic restorations. To dentistry's benefit, fewer injections and less frequent drilling are predicted to create a whole new generation of nonphobic adults.
