Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive technique providing cross-sectional
images of a tooth structure. This review describes the use of OCT for detecting dental caries …

Background: Bioadhesion and surface interactions on enamel are of essential relevance for
initiation, progression and prevention of caries and erosions. Salivary proteins on and within …

Background Scientific advances in cariology in the past 150 years have led to the
understanding that dental caries is a chronic, dietomicrobial, site-specific disease caused by …

INTRODUCTION: Tooth surface loss (TSL) is an increasingly recognised problem. We are
therefore seeing an increase in the number and complexity of in vitro studies investigating …

OBJECTIVES: In this laboratory study, we examined the use of a swept-source optical
coherence tomography (SS-OCT) as a diagnostic tool for occlusal caries. METHODS: One …

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 remineralization of enamel caries can lead to distinct optical changes within a lesion.
We hypothesized that the restoration of mineral volume would result in a measurable …

Early caries detection is essential for the implementation of preventive, therapeutic and
intervention strategies within general dental practice. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was …

Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is potentially useful for
imaging the nonsurgical remineralization of dental enamel. This study uses an all-fiber …

OBJECTIVE: An accurate evaluation of the extent of dental caries and possible progress of
the lesion from enamel into dentin is very important in clinical dentistry. Dentists need an …
