The actual salivary testing method, the CRT (Caries Risk Rest) distributed and sold by IvoclarVivadent is invented by Dr. Laurisch who is even holder of this patent. In 1999 he published this new caries risk test (together with Prof. Kneist and Prof. Heinrich-Weltzien) in the English Journal of Independent Dentistry.
In a huge number of published articles and lectures he presents his point of view concerning preventive dentistry and therefore he is well known in Germany.
