Laser fluorescence (LF) detection of occlusal caries in primary molars is "significantly affected" by both clear and opaque sealants, according to a new study in Lasers in Medical Science (January 23, ...

Laser fluorescence may effectively detect initial caries progression, but the technology struggles at monitoring later, more minute changes, according to a new study that looked at enamel ...

Digital radiographs decrease the sensitivity to identify the changes present during the initial stages of lesion progression, and in addition, for interproximal lesions, the X-ray must be focused ...

Low-level, non-cutting lasers are commonly used in many areas of general medicine and veterinary practice. Their use in treating pathology is based on photobiostimulation, in which laser energy is ...

Apart from the visual detection of caries, X-rays can be taken for detection of approximal lesions. The Proxi head of VistaCam iX intraoral camera system uses near-infrared light (NIR) to enable ...
