“…Also, all values of the kappa coefficient for the intra-observer agreement showed perfect agreement. These results are in agreement with (7,9,10). On the other hand, Stratigiaki et al 2020 (11) found that the intra-and inter-examiner reliability results showed a better performance of the bitewing radiography (BW) in comparison to NILT method.…”

“…While they disagreed with the results reported by Dezutter et al . (2020) ( 10 ) as they found that there was no significant differences between the NILT and ICDAS scores. This might be resulted from the lack of true status of the caries lesions evaluation which was considered as a prominent limitation of this study.…”

Background: Early caries detection became mandatory in modern dentistry.However, the traditional methods in caries detection had many limitations .Hence,a novel approach based on Near Infrared technology was introduced to overcome such limitations. Material and Methods: Proximal surfaces of 102 posterior teeth from 36 adult participants who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were assessed by two examiners using three diagnostic methods. Teeth were examined visually according to the criteria of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) then examined by bitewing digital radiograph (BW) and near infrared light transillumination (NIRT) camera (Vista Proxi iX HD smart). Inter and intra observer agreements were assessed using Kappa test.Dignostic accuracy parameters and Area Under the ROC curve (AUROC) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were evaluated for the different caries assessment methods. Results: The results of inter-observer agreement showed an excellent agreement in the different groups. There was a statistically significant difference in the score distribution between ICDASII and VistaCam modalities (P-value <0.05) .While there was no statistically significant difference in the score distribution between bitewing radiography and VistaCam modalities (P-value >0.05). ROC curve analysis revealed that VistaCam when compared with ICDASII had sensitivity (99.0%), specificity (50.0 %), diagnostic accuracy (98.0%) and Area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.745 with 95% Confidence Interval (0.649 -0.826).When VistaCam compared with bitewing radiography, it showed sensitivity (100.0%); specificity (40.0%), diagnostic accuracy (97.1%) and AUC (0.700) with 95% confidence interval (0.601 -0.787). Conclusions: NIRT based diagnostic modality is a promising method for detection of hidden proximal lesions overcoming the hazards of radiograph.

Efficiency of Near-Infrared Technology in the Clinical Detection of Carious Lesions: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

The field of dentistry has seen various technological advances regarding caries detection, some lesions still prove to be difficult to detect. A reasonably new detection method, near-infrared (NIR), has shown good results in caries detection. This systematic review aims to compare NIR with conventional methods in terms of caries detection. Online databases (PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and ProQuest) were used for the literature search. The search was performed from January 2015 till December-2020. A total of 770 articles were selected, of that 17 articles qualified for the final analysis as per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The articles were assessed according to a modified Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist, and then synthesis of the review started. The inclusion criteria were clinical trials done in vivo on teeth with active caries of vital or nonvital teeth. This review excluded nonpeer reviewed articles, case reports, case series, opinions, abstracts, non-English written articles, studies of subjects with arrested caries, or teeth with developmental defects of tooth structure and teeth having environmental defects of tooth structure, as well as in-vitro studies. The review compared near-infrared technology with radiography, visual inspection, and laser fluorescence in terms of caries detection, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. The sensitivity of NIR ranged from 99.1 to 29.1%. Studies showed that NIR exhibited higher sensitivity for occlusal enamel and dentin caries. The specificity of NIR ranged from 94.1 to 20.0%. In enamel and dentinal occlusal caries, NIR demonstrated lower specificity than that of radiograph. The specificity of NIR in early proximal caries was low. Accuracy was determined in 5 out of 17 studies where the values ranged from 97.1 to 29.1%. The accuracy of NIR was the highest for dentinal occlusal caries. NIR shows promising evidence as an adjunct in caries examination due to its high sensitivity and specificity; however, more studies are required to determine its full potential in different situations.
