The influence of pvc seal wrap and probe tips autoclaving on the in vitro performance of laser fluorescence device in occlusal caries in primary teeth

Abstract: The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of a PVC Seal Wrap as barrier protection and the influence of autoclaving on the in vitro performance of a laser fluorescence device in detecting occlusal caries lesions in primary teeth. The clinical significance of the experiment is to create a protocol to avoid the possibility of underestimating caries in clinical setting.

“…present high specificity but low sensitivity and reproducibility and modern non‐invasive techniques for characterization of tooth tissue from its surfaces are now available, with higher sensitivity and specificity . The new techniques are usually optical fluorescence methods and in these cases data interpretation can be affected by the presence of bacterial, plaque, stains, restorations, pigmentation, prophylactic toothpastes, autoclaving, etc., causing false positives or false negatives . We infer that same advantages and restrictions can be verified when applying OCT in clinical detection of caries, with the advantage of being an imaging‐capable technique.…”

“…Já os fatores tempo de uso do equipamento, o desgaste das pontas e o uso inadequado do filme PVC podem induzir a uma diminuição nos valores das leituras, com conseqüente aumento da especificidade e do número de detecções falso-negativas 23,34 .…”

“…Manchas e restaurações podem bloquear a fluorescência ou se tornar fontes de fluorescência, e ainda, a diferença no ponto de corte adotado para as leituras, a calibração inadequada do DIAGNOdent ou distúrbios no desenvolvimento dentário e soluções de armazenamento em estudos laboratoriais podem aumentar ou diminuir esses valores, a depender da metodologia de uso 23,34,71,110,127,128 .…”
