About

This study will be conducted to assess diagnostic predictive values of a light induced fluorescence intraoral camera versus those of the visual-tactile assessment method according to modified ICDAS-II criteria in clinical

Full description

volunteers patients will be assigned in this study. Each patient should have at least one posterior tooth with pits and fissure discoloration and maximum 4 teeth. The teeth will be evaluated by two diagnostic methods (D), where D1 represents visual-tactile assessment method (ICDAS-II) and D2 represents light induced fluorescence intraoral camera.Three operators, the researcher and the 2 supervisors, from the Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, will be the examiners in this study. Each examiner will record the dental findings using both the visual- tactile assessment method and the fluorescent-aided identification method. The visual-tactile assessment method includes the use of mirror, probe under good illumination condition, while the fluorescent-aided identification method will be performed by light induced fluorescence intraoral camera.

Description:

According to the international caries detection and assessment system (ICDAS-II). The visual examination was performed using the ICDAS-II criteria, which provides a standardized method of lesion detection. The ICDAS-II detection codes for coronal categories the score will be 0 =surface not restored or sealant then according to caries categories range from 0 to 6 depending on the severity of the lesion with the corresponding clinical views.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: light induced fluorescence camera
