摘要: Abstract Early caries detection is essential for the implementation of preventive, therapeutic and intervention strategies within general dental practice. Objective The aim this study was to compare in vitro performance International Caries Detection Assessment System (ICDAS), digital photographs scored with ICDAS (ICDAS photographs), fibre-optic transillumination (FOTI), optical coherence tomography (OCT), SoproLife® camera two implementations quantitative light-induced fluorescence a commercial (QLF-Inspektor Research systems) custom (QLF-Custom) system, detect early intermediate occlusal lesions. Methods One hundred twelve permanent extracted teeth were selected assessed each method. Histological validation used as gold standard. methods compared by means sensitivity, specificity, areas under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curves enamel dentine levels Spearman's rank correlation coefficient against histology.
