Dental caries were suggested to be a cumulative disease, showing irreversible progression.
However, early caries formation without cavitation occurs when the equilibrium between …

Clinical Relevance Devices used to aid occlusal caries diagnosis are supposed to detect
small lesions deep in the pit and fissure system. In detecting small occlusal caries, distance …

Objectives: Motivated by the poor sensitivity of visual inspection and radiography in the
detection of occlusal caries hidden under a macroscopically sound surface, we explored the …

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the performance of various contemporary
detection tools at incipient occlusal caries. Thirty eight freshly extracted posterior teeth with …

Fluorescence, absorption, and excitation spectroscopy have been widely utilised as probes
to collect basic information about physical, chemical, and biological processes. In this study …

Objectives: Detection of subgingival calculus and dentine caries in the bottom of deep
periodontal pockets is often difficult without visual observation. We thus examined the …

Abstract Statement of the Problem: The purpose of placing sealants is to inhibit caries by
physical closure of the pits and fissures of teeth. A device named DIAGNOdent is useful in …

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the reproducibility and accuracy of
quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) in relation to other technologies and …

The aim of this work was to verify the existence of correlation between Raman spectroscopy
readings of phosphate apatite (∼ 960 cm− 1), fluoridated apatite (∼ 575 cm− 1) and organic …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the DIAGNOdent system in
epidemiological studies to detect noncavitated occlusal caries lesions, and compare the …
