OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of the laser fluorescence device (DIAGNOdent)
for detection and quantification of smooth-surface caries lesions in primary teeth …

Today the diagnosis of caries is based mainly on examinations by visual inspection, dental
probe or by x-rays. All methods are very limited when either initial or undermining caries …

The aim was to assess the validity of laser fluorescence (LF), visual inspection and surface
texture on root caries lesions in vitro, related to histological lesion depths. Agreement on …

Objectives: To evaluate a quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) caries detection
method using a portable device under clinical conditions and present a QLF scoring index …

The aim of this clinical study was to compare the outcome of quantitative laser/light‐induced
fluorescence (QLF) and visual inspection (VI) for the detection of initial caries lesions on all …

This study compared the fluorescence spectra obtained at three laser excitation
wavelengths from intact enamel, sound dentin and carious dentin. Results were analyzed …

The feasibility of colorimetric parameters for the discrimination of the stages of dental caries
based on a light-induced autofluorescence spectrum at a 405-nm excitation wavelength was …

Significant differences between the optical spectra taken from sound regions of teeth and
carious regions have been observed. These differences appear both in absorption and in …

Recently, a device for detecting occlusal caries lesions (DIAGNOdent) has been introduced.
The reproducibility and validity of this laser-fluorescence device were investigated. In the in …

The aims of this in vitro study were (1) to compare the reliability of a new fluorescence
camera (FC; VistaProof) with that of two other laser fluorescence devices (DIAGNOdent and …
