“…Whereas in rest of the studies (including the present study), direct clinical examination was employed (Elfrink et al 2008;Ghanim et al 2013). As the validity and reproducibility of intraoral photographs for recording hypomineralisation defects has been proven (Elfrink et al 2009), the reasons for a higher prevalence for HSPM in second Dutch report remain unclear.…”

“…Since oral examination is the gold standard for clinically diagnosing dental caries, one limitation might be the assessment of dental caries from intra-oral photographs [Gimenez et al, 2015]. The use of intra-oral photographs has been validated by Elfrink et al [2009], but the performance was only moderate. Thus, the assessment of dmft indices in this study might be affected by a non-differential measurement error leading to an underestimation of the association between ethnicity and dental caries.…”

“…Both cameras had a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels and a minimal scene illumination of 1.4 and 30 lx. Scoring dental caries per tooth on intra-oral photographs has been described elsewhere and was shown to have high sensitivity and specificity (85.5 and 83.6%, respectively), in children with a mean age of 4.96 years, when compared to ordinary oral examination [Elfrink et al, 2009]. On average, all teeth were captured on in total 10 photographs showing the occlusal, buccal, lingual and palatal sides of the teeth.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate potential differences in caries prevalence of children from ethnic minority groups compared to native Dutch children and the influence of socio-economic status (SES) and parent-reported oral health behaviour on this association. The study had a cross-sectional design, embedded in a population-based prospective multi-ethnic cohort study. 4,306 children with information on caries experience, belonging to 7 different ethnic groups, participated in this study. The decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft) index was assessed at the age of 6 and categorized in two ways for analysis: children without caries (dmft = 0) versus any caries experience (dmft >0) and children without caries (dmft = 0) versus children with mild caries (dmft = 1-3) or severe caries (dmft >3). Compared to native Dutch children, children with a Surinamese-Hindustani, Surinamese-Creole, Turkish, Moroccan, and Cape Verdean background had significantly higher odds for dental caries. Especially the Surinamese-Hindustani, Turkish, and Moroccan group had significantly higher odds for severe dental caries. Household income and educational level of the mother explained up to 43% of the association between ethnicity and dental caries, whereas parent-reported oral health behaviour did not mediate the association. Alarming disparities in caries prevalence between different ethnic (minority) groups exist, which cannot be fully explained by social inequalities. Public health strategies can apply this new knowledge and specifically focus on the reduction of ethnic disparities in oral health. More research is needed to explain the high caries prevalence among different ethnic minority groups.

Laser/light fluorescence devices were highly reliable for occlusal caries diagnosis in permanent teeth but not superior in accuracy to visual methods. SUMMARYPurpose: Current caries diagnostic tools are neither very accurate nor very reliable for the detection of carious lesions of different depths. Thus, the development of new devices and techniques is needed. The aim of this in vitro study was to validate a newer fluorescence device, VistaProof (VP), and compare it with DIAGNOdent Pen (DP), direct visual (DV) and indirect visual methods (IDV), with respect to accuracy and reliability for the detection of occlusal caries in permanent teeth.Methods and Materials: One hundred seven sites on 41 occlusal surfaces of recently extracted premolars were selected and classified into lesion categories according to Ekstrand's clinical criteria, by direct and indirect visual examination. The fluorescence of the sites was also measured by the two devices, and the teeth were ground through the sites for histological evaluation of their lesion depth. One calibrated examiner of high reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC].0.85) made all of the evaluations. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of each detection method were estimated based on histological examination as the reference method, estimated using cutoff limits calculated on the basis of best agreement between the devices' values and histological examination. McNemar tests and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve , 2012, 37-3, 234-245 analyses were used to compare the validity measures of all detection methods at a=0.05, while the ICC was used to test the reproducibility of the methods based on a second measurement one week after the first.Results: There was no statistically significant difference (p.0.05) between the accuracy of DP and VPs for both enamel and dentin lesions. The areas under the ROC curves (AUC) for the two devices were also found not to be different (p.0.05). The reliability of DP was statistically significantly better than VP (p,0.05).Conclusion: The validity of both fluorescence devices were not found to be significantly different and not better than visual methods for the detection of noncavitated carious lesions.
