ABSTRACT Background The DIAGNOdent, or DD (KaVo America, Lake Zurich, Ill.), a device
for detecting caries using laser fluorescence, has been growing in popularity during the past …

ABSTRACT Unlabelled Image Background During the last two decades, much has been
written in both the scientific literature and the popular press about lasers and their use in the …

The use of laser light at power levels below that capable of direct tissue change (protein
denaturation, water vaporisation and tissue ablation), has been advocated in diverse …

Some novel caries detection and excavation devices rely on the ability of bacteria to
produce red fluorescing compounds. The aim of this study was to examine the ability of …

Red autofluorescence of plaque and its relation to fluorescence of a single species in the
biofilm was studied. Fluorescence images of non-disclosed and disclosed plaque of 28 first …

Aim: To evaluate four different techniques of caries excavation in primary teeth in terms of
efficacy, efficiency and pain experienced during the procedure. Materials and methods …

Red fluorophores synthesized by oral bacteria are important for fluorescence-based
diagnosis and treatment because they are used as markers for bacterially infected tissue …

The aim of this study was to assess the red autofluorescence from bacterial species related
to dental caries and periodontitis in the presence of different nutrients in the growth medium …

Background/hypothesis: Secondary caries has been suggested as the main reason for
restoration replacement. We hypothesized that more caries‐associated bacteria are found …
