“…Some studies [25,30] also show that they improve the accuracy of visual diagnosis. The validity of the visual diagnosis has been compared with DIAGNOdent [4,7,9,12,13,16,18,20,22,[24][25][26] and with VistaProof [4,7,12,30], but few studies have analysed the combination of both methods as complementary to visual diagnosis. Iranzo-Cortés et al [25,30] showed that these possible combinations increase the sensitivity values but decrease the question of specificity and the area under the curve, though not to a significant degree with respect to visual diagnosis only.…”

“…Of the 27 articles included, 23 used DIAGNOdent [3,4,, studying sensitivity, specificity and AUC in vitro in 16 of them [4,[7][8][9][10][11][13][14][15][16][17]20,[23][24][25][26] while nine were in vivo [3,12,16,18,19,21,22,26,27]; in two cases, however, (Theocharopoulou 2015 [21] and Peycheva 2016 [24]) carried out the study in vivo and in vitro. For VistaProof, 14 articles were reviewed [4,5,7,8,10,12,14,15,19,23,[27][28][29][30], of which 10 were in vitro [4,7,8,10,14,15,23,…”

J.E.I.); Teresa.Almerich@uv.es (T.A.); Carlos.Bellot@uv.es (C.B.-A.); jose.m.almerich@uv.es (J.M.A.S.)Abstract: Objective: To analyse the published evidence of the validity of DIAGNDOdent and VistaProof in diagnosing carious depths in pre-cavitated lesions. Material and methods: A systematic review was carried out after identifying a total of 184 articles, including 27 concerning the qualitative review and a subsequent meta-analysis. The quality of the studies was evaluated by using the QUADAS-2 tool. Results: For DIAGNOdent, the sensitivity value was 0.77, the specificity value was 0.75 and AUC was 0.81 for the global meta-analyses. In relation to subgroups, the values estimated 0.85, 0.76 and 0.86, respectively, for the in vivo group and 0.71, 0.75 and 0.83 for the in vitro group. For VistaProof, sensitivity was 0.81, specificity 0.75 and AUC had a value of 0.80 in the global meta-analysis. For the subgroups, these were considered at 0.75, 0.81 and 0.89, respectively, for the in vivo group and 0.91, 0.74 and 0.76 for the in vitro group. Neither case presented publication bias when analysing the funnel plot, the classic fail-safe number and Egger's intercept. Conclusion: Both VistaProof and DIAGNOdent are valid as they offer a moderate to high diagnostic effectiveness for dentine depth in pre-cavitated lesions.

The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the overall reproducibility and accuracy of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) for assessing coronal caries lesions, and (2) to investigate the use of systems associated with the ICDAS for activity assessment of coronal caries lesions. Specific search strategies were adopted to identify studies published up to 2016. For the first objective, we selected studies that assessed primary coronal caries lesions using the ICDAS as a reference standard. A total of 54 studies were included. Meta-analyses summarized the results concerning reproducibility and accuracy (correlation with histology, summary ROC curves [SROC], and diagnostic odds ratio [DOR]). The latter 2 were expressed at D1/D3 levels. The heterogeneity of the studies was also assessed. Reproducibility values (pooled) were > 0.65. The ICDAS mostly presented a good overall performance as most areas under SROC were > 0.75 at D1 and > 0.90 at D3; DOR ≥6. For the second objective, we selected studies investigating activity assessment associated with the ICDAS. The meta-analyses pooled results based on the same methodology and parameters as above. Longitudinal findings regarding caries progression were described to estimate the validity of these systems. On average, the systems for activity assessment of caries lesions showed moderate values concerning reproducibility and overall performance. Active caries lesions were more prone to progress than inactive ones after 2 years. In conclusion, the ICDAS presented a substantial level of reproducibility and accuracy for assessing primary coronal caries lesions. Additional systems associated with the ICDAS that classify caries lesion activity can be useful as they are moderately reproducible and accurate.

“…So, the intensity of the detected fluorescence indicates the extent of caries [16]. The reliability of DIAGNO dent, in detecting secondary caries under composite restorations, is reported to be similar to digital radiographs [17], however, the Cone beam computed tomography seemed to represent the best accuracy [18]. Near-infrared laser transillumination (NIR-LTI) is another new generation of caries detectors which have shown promising results compared to DIAGNOdent however the researches are not vast enough to make a determined conclusion [19].…”

Nowadays, lasers are widely used in many fields of medicine. Also, they can be applied at many branches of dental practice such as diagnosis, preventive procedures, restorative treatments, and endodontic therapies. Procedures like caries removal, re-mineralization, and vital pulp therapy are the most noticeable effects of laser irradiation which has gained much attention among clinicians. With controlled and appropriate wavelength, they can help stimulating dentinogenesis, controlling pulpal hemorrhage, sterilization, healing of collagenic proteins, formation of a fibrous matrix, and inducing hard tissue barrier. Nevertheless, there are many controversies in literatures regarding their effects on the quality of bonded restorations. It hampered a wide application of lasers in some aspects of restorative dentistry and requirements to identify the best way to use this technology. The aim of this mini review is to explain special characteristics of laser therapy and to introduce the possible applications of laser devices for dental purposes.
