“…Raman spectroscopy helps in characterizing hydroxyapatite crystals (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 (3,36,39). Several studies strongly recommend Raman spectroscopy as an effective and relatively easy tool for early diagnosis of dental caries (32,(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50) because during the caries process the inorganic matter of the tooth is gradually replaced by organic matter, which shows stronger organic peaks than normally seen. These changes are characterized by studying material compositions by exciting chemical bonds in the specimen (51).…”

“…The Soprolife ® camera (Acteon, La Ciotat, France) 3,4,[26][27][28][29][30][31] is an intraoral camera that utilizes two types of LEDs that illuminate tooth surfaces in the visible domain, either in the white light region or in a narrow band (wavelength 450 nm with a bandwidth of 20 nm). This provides an anatomical image superimposed on an autofluorescence image.…”

Preservation of natural tooth structure requires early detection of the carious lesion and is associated with comprehensive patient dental care. Processes aiming to detect carious lesions in the initial stage with optimum efficiency employ a variety of technologies such as magnifying loupes, transillumination, light and laser fluorescence (QLF ® and DIAGNOdent ® ) and autofluorescence (Soprolife ® and VistaCam ® ), electric current/impedance (CarieScan ® ), tomographic imaging and image processing. Most fluorescent caries detection tools can discriminate between healthy and carious dental tissue, demonstrating different levels of sensitivity and specificity. Based on the fluorescence principle, an LED camera (Soprolife ® ) was developed (Sopro-Acteon, La Ciotat, France) which combined magnification, fluorescence, picture acquisition and an innovative therapeutic concept called light-induced fluorescence evaluator for diagnosis and treatment (LIFEDT). This article is rounded off by a Soprolife ® illustration about minimally or even non-invasive dental techniques, distinguishing those that preserve or reinforce the enamel and enamel-dentine structures without any preparation (MIT1-minimally invasive therapy 1) from those that require minimum preparation of the dental tissues (MIT2 -minimally invasive therapy 2) using several clinical cases as examples. MIT1 encompasses all the dental techniques aimed at disinfection, remineralizing, reversing and sealing the caries process and MIT2 involves a series of specific tools, including microburs, air abrasion devices, sonic and ultrasonic inserts and photo-activated disinfection to achieve minimal preparation of the tooth. With respect to minimally invasive treatment and prevention, the use of lasers is discussed. Furthermore, while most practices operate under a surgical model, Caries Management by Risk Assessment (CaMBRA) encourages a medical model of disease prevention and management to control the manifestation of the disease, or keep the oral environment in a state of balance between pathological and preventive factors. Early detection and diagnosis and prediction of lesion activity are of great interest and may change traditional operative procedures substantially. Fluorescence tools with high levels of magnification and observational capacity should guide clinicians towards a more preventive and minimally invasive treatment strategy.

Aim:The aim of this systematic review was to assess the in vivo scientific evidence regarding the ability of a recently developed light fluorescence device, SoproLife ® (Sopro-Acteon group, La Ciotat, France) in detecting occlusal carious lesions.The PubMed database was searched for in vivo trials that evaluated the validity of the SoproLife ® camera for the detection of occlusal carious lesions. Among the 11 articles originally identified with the keyword "Soprolife," only three articles were included.The three included surveys used the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS)-II criteria as gold standard for the assessment of SoproLife ® compared or not to other detection devices (DIAGNOdent ® and Spectra Caries Detection Aid ® ). Two of the included studies reported only on permanent teeth or both primary and permanent teeth. The SoproLife ® validity values varied markedly among studies with a sensitivity ranging between 0.43 and 0.95 and a specificity between 0.55 and 1. Interobserver reproducibility with the SoproLife ® was reported in two of the three studies (0.98 and 0.72) and none of the studies reported about intraobserver reproducibility.No clear-cut conclusion can be made based on the three included clinical studies; further in vivo investigations are needed to confirm the validity of the SoproLife ® camera in terms of detection of occlusal carious lesions.
