A systematic review of the English‐language literature was conducted to address three
related questions concerning the diagnosis and management of dental caries: a) the …

This systematic review evaluates evidence describing histologically validated performance
of methods for identifying carious lesions. A search identified 1,407 articles, of which 39 …

This laboratory study of 100 occlusal surfaces investigated the reproducibility and accuracy
of a visual ranked caries scoring system, an electronic caries scoring system (ECM) using a …

The diagnosis of occlusal caries at non–cavitated sites remains problematic, especially
since clinical visual detection has limited sensitivity. Electrical methods of detection show …

Changes in restorative techniques and the development of newer restorative materials have
allowed for the use of more conservative cavity preparations. This 10-year study evaluated …

Children and adolescents must be examined often for occlusal caries. Diagnosis of fissure
caries is difficult especially when the tooth surface appears seemingly intact. It has been …

We present here the first in vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of human
dental tissue. A novel dental optical coherence tomography system has been developed …

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of several common methods for the
diagnosis of fissure caries. 63 human teeth without fillings and without any macroscopic …

A new laser fluorescence method, KaVo DIAGNOdent, was tested with respect to
reproducibility and validity and compared with radiography regarding accuracy in the …

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 …
