In Vivo Evaluation of DIAGNOdent for the Quantification of Occlusal Dental Caries
Operative Dentistry, 2009SUMMARY The accurate diagnosis of non-cavitated occlusal caries is generally considered problematic. Induced fluorescence quantified by the DIAGNOdent device (KaVo) gives a reading from 0–99, which may help in the caries diagnostic process. There is some controversy around the implication of increased severity of decay with increased DIAGNOdent

Clinical performance of DIAGNOdent in the detection of secondary carious lesions
Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2005The diagnostic value of DIAGNOdent in detecting primary occlusal caries has been investigated in many studies, although its use in in vivo detection of secondary caries remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of DIAGNOdent in in vivo detection of secondary caries on teeth with amalgam restorations.

Consistency of DIAGNOdent instruments for clinical assessment of fissure caries
Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2004DIAGNOdent (KaVo, Biberach, Germany) has shown high diagnostic accuracy and intra-operator agreement for caries detection, both in vitro and in vivo. The aims of this study were to compare DIAGNOdent with visual examination (VI) and bitewing radiographs (BW) for clinical assessment of occlusal fissures, and to evaluate inter-device consistency of ...

An in vitro study of the reliability of DIAGNOdent® measurements
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2004summary Aim of this in vitro study was to assess the reliability of measurements by a laser fluorescence technique for occlusal caries detection. Four dentists using four DIAGNOdent® devices (Dds) according to manufacturer's instructions examined 80 carefully cleaned extracted molars with non‐cavitated occlusal lesions.

Comparison of QLF and DIAGNOdent for Quantification of Smooth Surface Caries
Caries Research, 2000The aim was to compare the detection and quantification of smooth surface caries by KaVo DIAGNOdent and quantitative laser/light–induced fluorescence (QLF) using a laser and a lamp as two different light sources. On 40 premolar teeth extracted from adolescents, 71 non–cavitated approximal surfaces were assessed.

A Follow-Up Study of the Use of DIAGNOdent for Monitoring Fissure Caries in Children
Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 2004Abstract – Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of the laser fluorescence device DIAGNOdent for monitoring occlusal caries longitudinally as part of a routine dental check‐up in a public dental clinic.Methods: Children aged 7–8 and 13–14 years at baseline participated in the study. As part of two consecutive dental check‐ups

Application of DIAGNOdent® as a Guide for Removing Carious Dentin With Er:YAG Laser
Journal of Dentistry, 2006The purpose of this study was to investigate the DIAGNOdent values applicable as a guide for removal of outer layer of carious dentin with Er:YAG laser.Carious dentin of human extracted molars was removed by bur with Caries Detector (Group 1: red stained dentin was left, Group 2: light pink stained dentin was left) and by Er:YAG laser with DIAGNOdent ...

Validation of DIAGNOdent for quantification of smooth-surface caries: an in vitro study
Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2001The aims were 1) to validate a laser-based device, KaVo DIAGNOdent, for quantification of caries lesions on smooth surfaces, using histopathologic and microradiographic analyses as the gold standard, and 2) to test inter- and intra-observer agreements.

DIAGNOdent measurements of cultures of selected oral bacteria and demineralized enamel
Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2010Carious tissue fluoresces with a wavelength different from sound tissue when stimulated by light with a wavelength of 655 nm. This difference is thought to have a bacterial origin rather than indicating demineralization. This study aimed to measure fluorescence emitted by normal cultivable caries-associated bacterial flora and typical porphyrin ...

Occlusal Caries Detection with KaVo DIAGNOdent and Radiography: An in vitro Comparison
Caries Research, 2000A new laser fluorescence method, KaVo DIAGNOdent, was tested with respect to reproducibility and validity and compared with radiography regarding accuracy in the detection of occlusal caries. Seventy–six extracted premolar and molar teeth were measured twice with DIAGNOdent under both wet and dry conditions, at an interval of 2 weeks. Conventional film
