چکیده
has been approved by the Examining Committee for the thesis requirement for the Master of Science degree in Operative Dentistry at the May 2013 graduation. I would also like to thank Dr. James Wefel who allowed me to get a glimpse of his infinite wisdom in Cariology. A special " thank you " is in order to Dr. for taking time out of their busy schedules to offer much needed technical expertise. I am especially thankful to my wife Alison and my daughters Emily, Madeline, and Sophia for their unwavering love and support. I simply could not have done this without you.

Detection of Non-Cavitated Occlusal Caries with Impedance Spectroscopy and Laser Fluorescence: an In Vitro Study
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of an impedance spectroscopy technology for detecting non-cavitated occlusal caries lesions in permanent teeth in vitro. The method was compared with a commonly used laser fluorescence device and validated against histology. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY A non-cavitated sample of 100 extracted posterior teeth was randomly selected and assessed for caries on en...
متن کاملIn vivo and in vitro comparison of ICDAS II, DIAGNOdent pen, CarieScan PRO and SoproLife camera for occlusal caries detection in primary molar teeth.
AIM This research was aimed to investigate the in vivo and in vitro performance of traditional and novel methods in the detection of occlusal caries in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty primary molar teeth were assessed by two examiners both in vivo using ICDAS II, radiographic examination, DIAGNOdent pen, CarieScan PRO and SoproLife camera and in vitro using the mention...
متن کاملNew methodology to assess activity status of occlusal caries in primary teeth using laser fluorescence device.
An in vivo study was conducted to verify the ability of laser fluorescence (LF) to assess the activity status of occlusal caries in primary teeth, using different air-drying times. Occlusal sites (707) were examined using LF (DIAGNOdent) after air-drying for 3 s and 15 s, and the difference between readings (DIF15 s-3 s) was calculated. For concurrent validation of LF, visual criteria-Nyvad (NY...
متن کاملAssessment of the ozone-mediated killing of bacteria in infected dentine associated with non-cavitated occlusal carious lesions.
The ability of ozone to kill micro-organisms associated with non-cavitated occlusal caries was investigated. The occlusal surfaces were treated with ozone (n = 53) or air (n = 49) for 40 s, and the underlying infected dentine was exposed. There was no significant difference between the number of bacteria recovered from the ozone-treated and the control sites (p > 0.1). Treatment of the exposed ...
متن کاملOcclusal Caries: Biological Approach for Its Diagnosis and Management.
The management of occlusal caries still remains a major challenge for researchers as well as for general practitioners. The present paper reviews and discusses the most up-to-date knowledge and evidence of the biological principles guiding diagnosis, risk assessment, and management of the caries process on occlusal surfaces. In addition, it considers the whole spectrum of the caries process on ...
