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 کاملDetection of Tooth caries in Bitewing Radiographs using Deep Learning
We develop a Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system, which enhances the performance of dentists in detecting wide range of dental caries. The CAD System achieves this by acting as a second opinion for the dentists with way higher sensitivity on the task of detecting cavities than the dentists themselves. We develop annotated dataset of more than 3000 bitewing radiographs and utilize it for devel...

متن کاملEffect of noise on the compressibility and diagnostic accuracy for caries detection of digital bitewing radiographs.
OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of noise on the compressibility and the diagnostic accuracy for caries detection of digital bitewing radiographs. METHODS Bitewing radiographs of patients were obtained with a storage phosphor (Digora, Soredex, Helsinki, Finland) and compressed at different JPEG compression levels (2, 27, 53 and 128). A just noticeable difference study was performed to selec...
