Pen-type laser fluorescence device versus bitewing radiographs for caries detection on approximal surfaces
BACKGROUND The accurate detection of approximal caries is generally difficult. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of the pen-type laser fluorescence device (LF pen) to detect approximal carious lesions in comparison to bitewing radiographs (BW). METHODS Three hundred forty-one tooth surfaces were diagnosed in 20 patients with an average age of 26.70 (±2.82) years. Each test tooth...
متن کاملEvaluation of Diagnodent Accuracy in Detecting Approximal Caries in Primary Molars
Introduction: Detection of caries lesions on approximal surfaces of posterior teeth is difficult, since wide contact points hamper direct visual inspection. Due to the importance of the early detection of dental caries, the aim of this study is to compare the performance of different methods (visual, bitewing radiography and DIAGNOdent) in detecting approximal caries in primary molars. Methods:...
متن کاملComparison of Proximal Caries Detection in Primary Teeth between Laser Fluorescence and Bitewing Radiography
Background and objective: Proximal caries detection is of great importance because of the rapid rate of caries progression and the difficulty in determining the absence or presence of a lesion in primary dentition. Although, various methods for caries diagnosis offer good diagnostic performances, they provide varying sensitivities for detecting proximal carious lesions. The objective of this st...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Proximal caries detection is of great importance because of the rapid rate of caries progression and the difficulty in determining the absence or presence of a lesion in primary dentition. Although, various methods for caries diagnosis offer good diagnostic performances, they provide varying sensitivities for detecting proximal carious lesions. The objective of this stu...
متن کاملEffectiveness of preventive treatment on approximal caries progression in posterior primary and permanent teeth: a review.
AIM A literature review to assess the effectiveness of preventive treatment on approximal caries progression in posterior teeth is presented. METHODS Retrospective and prospective studies conducted on primary and permanent teeth published in the literature were identified and reviewed. RESULTS The assessment of the reviewed studies showed that they were inconclusive regarding the primary te...
