Because of the limitations of visual inspection and dental radiographs for detecting early or
hidden forms of dental caries, much effort has been expended developing additional …

Modern caries treatment concepts like caries management by risk assessment-CAMBRA-
entail diagnosing early caries lesions in a precavitated stage to make it possible to reverse …

There has been a remarkable decline in the prevalence of dental caries in US children and
adults during the past 40 years attributable primarily to the widespread use of fluoride …

Considerable research during the past two decades has focused upon the development of
new technologies for the detection of dental caries. Of these technologies, the method that …

The objective of the study was to evaluate the in vivo effectiveness of two fluorescence
techniques (DIAGNOdent and VistaProof) and of visual and tactile evaluation in the …

Preservation of natural tooth structure requires early detection of the carious lesion and is
associated with comprehensive patient dental care. Processes aiming to detect carious …

The modern concept of minimally invasive dentistry encompasses early detection of
incipient carious lesions and their treatment. Due to the low sensitivity of visual inspection …

Background Fluorescence-based methods have been proposed to aid caries lesion
detection. Summarizing and analysing findings of studies about fluorescence-based …

This study investigated the ability of a new fluorescence method to detect residual caries in
vitro. Gross caries was removed from 40 teeth with D2 caries. Samples were excited with …

Abstract Quantitative Light Induced fluorescence (QLF) distinguishes between an initial
caries lesion and sound teeth by assessing fluorescence loss. Visible blue light irradiating …
