Evaluation 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 کاملPen-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 کاملIn vitro studies of laser fluorescence for detection and quantification of mineral loss from dental caries.
Laser fluorescence (LF) is thought to be a quantitative technique for the measurement of mineral loss from dental caries. These studies aimed to demonstrate the quantitative nature of LF, by means of transverse microradiography (TMR), in addition to the possible use of LF on small specimens suitable for in situ studies. Studies also aimed to determine the ability of LF to detect caries adjacent...
متن کاملAdhesion and Proliferation of Human Gingival Fibroblasts on Root Surfaces following Photodynamic Therapy: An In Vitro Study
Background and Aim: Previous studies have shown that some dyes used in photodynamic therapy (PDT) have a low pH and may cause root demineralization and remove the smear layer. This study aimed to assess and compare the effects of root biomodification with citric acid and PDT on the adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Materials and Methods: In this in vitro experime...
