When tested in vitro and in vivo, the removal of all dentin stainable by the 0.5% basic fuchsin-propylene glycol solution method assured complete removal of infected carious dentin. The image on the radiograph was always somewhat narrower than the extent of the fuchsin-stainable dentin to be removed.
