“…The radiographic examination is considered to be inaccurate in detecting early enamel lesions, however, some studies reported that radiographs might add information to the visual examination about caries progress 2,22,23 , including hidden caries 24 . Bhumireddy et al indicated that ICDAS II showed better accuracy than digital radiographs in the diagnosis of caries within the enamel, and both tools were equally effective in the detection of dentinal lesions 25 . The results of our study showed that the visual method showed the highest correlation to the gold standard followed by Fluorescent DIAGNOdent Pen differentiates the sound surfaces from carious lesions according to fluorescence difference.…”

Background/Aim: Evaluating the performance of two fluorescence-based methods on the detection of occlusal carious lesions in permanent teeth, compared with visual inspection and radiographic examination was the aim of this study. Material and Methods: Occlusal surfaces of 150 extracted human permanent molars were examined by two researchers using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System ll (ICDAS-II), FluoreCam (Daraza) and DIAGNOdent Pen® (KaVo). Standardized periapical radiographs were taken. The teeth were sectioned for histological validation and examined under 25x magnification under a stereomicroscope (Leica M27.5) using Downer criteria 0-4 as the gold standard. The correlation of diagnostic methods with histological analyses was evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients (rho). Results: All teeth were scored from 0 to 6 for ICDAS-II. The highest correlation of the gold standard was found with ICDAS-II followed by FluoreCam and DIAGNOdent Pen®. The association strength of ICDAS-II, Radiography, FluoreCam and DIAGNOdent Pen® with the histological evaluation was quite strong (p<0.05). Both fluorescence-based methods performed similarly. Conclusions: Radiograph is not specific for early carious lesions but may be used as an adjunct method for dentin caries. ICDAS-II classification is an accurate method for clinical examination of occlusal caries however additionally using fluorescence as a quantitative and visual examination is quite supportive and reinforcing especially for detecting enamel caries lesions.

“…Otras de las herramientas que describenHogan et al, (2019), es la transiluminación de fibra óptica (FOTI) mismo que se considera como un dispositivo muy confiable para detectar lesiones cariosas en las superficies proximales, particularmente en piezas dentales anteriores. En este sentido, ambas herramientas son convenientes para la detección de lesiones cariosas en las superficies proximales.Otro método descrito porBhumireddy, et al,(2018), es el visuo-táctil, mismo que ha sido manejados por algunos organismos tal como lo es la OMS quien propuso su método que se basaba en una lesión de dentina claramente cavitada 'sí/no' sin embargo, su manejo fue descontinuado por su poca fiabilidad. Así también el Sistema Internacional de Evaluación y Detección de Caries (ICDAS) desarrolló el sistema de puntuación de lesiones cariosas de esmalte y dentina de dos dígitos, siendo este enfocado en el uso en encuestas epidemiológicas, investigación, educación dental y prácticas, pese a ello por su gran complejidad es difícil aplicarlo(de Armorim et al, 2012;Pitts, 2004).SegúnFrencken et al, (2011), entre lo más reciente se halla un nuevo índice visual de evaluación de caries de un dígito, mismo que Incluye lesiones cariosas no cavitadas y cavitadas, dientes con compromiso pulpar y abscesos, así como dientes sellados, restaurados y perdidos, este ha sido validado para la apariencia y el contenido, pero su validez y confiabilidad del constructo se encuentran en curso.…”

En los últimos años, debido a una mejor comprensión de la patología de la caries y los avances en los materiales dentales, ha cobrado importancia el uso de técnicas no invasivas y mínimamente invasivas que retrasan o evitan la necesidad de restauraciones tradicionales. Objetivo: Presentar una actualización de conceptos de odontología mínimamente invasiva en el tratamiento de la caries dental. Metodología: La presente investigación tuvo un enfoque basado en la revisión literaria permitiendo comparar estudios de diferentes autores sobre odontología mínimamente invasiva. Conclusión: Actualmente, la odontología mínimamente invasiva se ha transformado en la filosofía más común de tratamiento dental. La posibilidad de su inclusión se debe en gran parte al advenimiento de nuevos materiales dentales que se adhieren a la estructura dental, métodos más conservadores para una estructura dental sana, logrando un tratamiento con un enfoque quirúrgico menos invasivo y supresión mínima de tejido sano.

Background The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and severity of early childhood caries (ECC) in children 6–71-months; identify the teeth most at risk for ECC; and identify risk indicators associated with significant caries index (SiC) score in different age groups. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that collected data (using a household survey) on the ECC risk indicators (frequency of tooth brushing, consumption of refined carbohydrate in-between-meals, daily use of fluoridated toothpaste, and dental service utilization in the 12 months) in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. We computed the prevalence of ECC using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDASI (d1–6)) index; caries severity using the ICDAS-2(d1–2) and ICDAS-3(d3–6) for non-cavitated and cavitated lesions respectively, decayed missing, filled teeth (dmft), and surfaces (dmfs) and SiC indices; and caries complications using the pulp (p), ulceration (u), fistula (f) and abscesses (a) (pufa) index, for children 6–11-months-old, 12–23-months-old, 23–35-months-old, 35–47-months-old; 48–59-months-old and 60–71-months-old. The differences in the mean dmft, dmfs, pufa scores, and ICDAS 1, 2, and 3 scores, and proportion of children with each ECC risk indicator were computed. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk indicators for the ECC SiC index score for each age group. Results The prevalence of ECC was 4.7%: 2.9% had non-cavitated lesions and 2.8% had cavitated lesions. The mean (SD) dmft, dmfs and pufa scores were 0.13 (0.92), 0.24 (1.91) and 0.04 (0.46) respectively. The dmft and dmfs scores were highest among the 24–35-months-olds while the SiC score was highest among the 12–23-months-olds. There were no significant differences in dmft, dmfs, and pufa scores between the different age groups. Toothbrushing more than once a day was the only factor associated with the SiC score: it decreases the odds for the SiC score in children 48–59-months-old. The teeth worst affected by ECC were #85 and #61. Conclusion The prevalence, severity and risk indicator for ECC seems to differ for each age group. The granular details on the risk profile of children with ECC in this population with a low ECC prevalence and burden can allow for the planning of age-targeted interventions.
