Abstract:Fluorescence opens up new opportunities to investigate diseases in the oral cavity. The application of fluorescence methods to detect caries, calculus, and cancerous tissue is discussed, and the working principle of devices using fluorescence to detect diseases in the oral cavity is explained. In order to assess the possible benefits of this technique, studies are reviewed that compare the performance to detect diseases of fluorescence devices such as quantitative laser fluorescence (QLF), DIAGNOdent, or Vista… Show more
