“…A previous study has shown that NIRT lesion detection is closest to clinical results in occlusal carious lesions and superior to other detection methods like dyes, laser fluorescence, and X-rays. Thus, NIRT would be the most useful method as an adjunct to visual inspection [26].…”

“…The results from this study show a low agreement between BW and visual examination which further confirms previous studies reporting that early occlusal carious lesions cannot be detected by BW. A limited number of studies compared NIRT with the visual method on the occlusal surface [25,26]. One study showed a very high correlation between clinical examination and NIRT with a kappa value of 0.99 [25], while the other study found that NIRT also correlated the most with visual examination with r = 0.51 [26].…”

“…[20,21] The area and contrast of occlusal lesions in NIRT images can be correlated with lesion severity, and lesions that penetrate into dentine have significantly higher contrast than those in the enamel [18,22]. Several studies have shown NIRT to have higher sensitivity than BW to detect both proximal and occlusal carious lesion [23][24][25][26][27]. NIRT has also shown higher inter-examiner and intra-examiner reliability than BW [22,28,29].…”

The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of three diagnostic methods (near-infrared transillumination (NIRT), bitewing radiographs (BW), and clinical images (CI)) to detect occlusal carious lesions in a low caries risk population. This retrospective analysis included one hundred and eighty-eight occlusal surfaces, scored as sound surface, early lesion, or distinct lesion. We evaluated the agreement between and within the methods over time. Kappa statistics tested the correlation between the methods. Examiners detected occlusal early lesions more frequently with visual examination and NIRT and the same lesions were confirmed on the 2-year follow-up. Within the limitations of this study, we were able to establish that early occlusal lesions can be detected and monitored over time using NIRT and visual exam, while BW scores showed mostly sound surfaces at both examinations. NIRT combined with clinical examination can be considered appropriate to detect and monitor early enamel caries on the occlusal surface in low caries-risk populations.

Anah tarKe li me ler Diş çürüğü, çürük teşhisi, erken teşhis Keywords Dental caries, caries detection, early diagnosis AbstractIn recent years, the early diagnosis of dental caries has gained importance as conservative dentistry is kept in the forefront. Especially in pediatric patients, the dentist should focus on the early detection of dental caries and minimally invasive treatment options. The conventional caries detection methods often fail to detect initial enamel lesions that have not progressed to cavitation. For this reason, various new techniques have been developed aiding early detection of caries. The aim of this review is to give general information about recent caries detection methods and to mention their benefits when used in conjunction with conventional methods.

“…In places other than the correct structure, the laser beam is refracted and scattered, which distinguishes carious lesions from the healthy tissue. The image is captured by the camera, and then sent to a computer where the software allows for archiving images, as well as subsequent graphic processing [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In the images obtained with the DIAGNOcam camera, anatomical tooth edges are clearly visible and the dentineenamel junction is very well visualized.…”

Background. Detecting early carious lesions on tooth surfaces which are hard to reach, especially proximal ones, is the most problematic part of a dental examination. Nowadays, in clinical practice, in additional to a clinical examination, the use of subsidiary methods, such as radiovisiography or laser, in detecting proximal caries is recommended. Objectives. A comparison of the effectiveness of detecting caries on the proximal surfaces of primary molars, permanent molars and premolars in children and youth under 18 years old using visual and tactical examination, the laser diagnostic camera DIAGNOcam ® (KaVo) and bitewing radiovisiography. Material and Methods. The proximal surfaces of molars and premolars in 100 children and youth under 18 years old were examined, all of whom were patients of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at the Medical University of Warsaw. Examination of the proximal surfaces was conducted using Digora bitewing radiovisiography, a DIAGNOcam KaVo laser camera and visual and tactical examination according to the ICDAS-II classification scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Moreover, the sensitivity and specificity of the methods was evaluated. Results. The average patient age was 10.5 ± 3.83 years. Caries were diagnosed on 122 (10.90%) proximal surfaces of the lateral teeth in the radiovisiographic examination, on 113 (10.47%) using the DIAGNOcam KaVo intraoral camera and on 98 (4.00%) in the visual and tactical examination. A lack of statistical significance for the examination of the proximal tooth surfaces using DIAGNOcam vs radiovisiography was stated. The sensitivity of the radiovisiography was 88.33 and the specificity 84.38, whereas the sensitivity of the DIAGNOcam was 80.00 and the specificity was 81.10. Conclusions. The diagnostic methods that were used have varied in sensitivity and specificity. Examination of the proximal surfaces using the DIAGNOcam is less sensitive than radiovisiography, as well as less specific. Both methods have limitations in usage (Dent. Med. Probl. 2016, 53, 4, 468-475).
