In‐vitro validation of near‐infrared reflection for proximal caries detection
The aim of this study was the in‐vitro validation of VistaCam iX HD, which uses near‐infrared reflection (NIRR), for proximal caries detection. It was compared with digital bitewing radiography (BWR), and micro‐computed tomography (µCT) was used as the reference standard.

ABSTRACT Background Objective: To evaluate the effect of self‐assembling peptide (SAP) on white spot lesions (WSLs) in orthodontic patients with fixed appliances. Methods Eligibility Criteria: Randomized and non‐randomized clinical studies, as well as in vitro studies, comparing SAP with fluoride or no treatment for WSLs in orthodontic patients were ...

Fixed orthodontic treatments often lead to enamel demineralization and cause white spot lesions (WSLs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the mineralization degree of 2 types of WSLs based on ICDAS index and compare the remineralizing efficacy of 3 oral hygiene practices after 1 month and 3 months.

The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of different prophylactic pastes on DIAGNOdent/DIAGNOdent pen (DD/DD pen) readings and the influence of different times and cleaning methods of the prophylactic pastes residues on DD/DD pen reading values. Also, it had to be established if there were differences in readings between DD and DD pen device.

Effect of different remineralizing agents on the initial carious lesions – A comparative study
Objectives: This study aimed to assess and compare the effectiveness of three different remineralizing agents (Tricalcium phosphate paste, Fluoride varnish, and Nano-hydroxyapatite gel) using the DIAGNOdent device.

Occlusal pits and fissures of permanent molars are considered to have higher risk of developing caries. Enamel demineralization can be prevented by applying remineralizing agents, and their absorption increases with prior irradiation. This work evaluates the chemical changes produced by treating occlusal surfaces with sodium fluoride (NaF ...

ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding human tooth structure fluorescence aids clinical and forensic dentistry, enabling tissue/material differentiation and the creation of esthetic restorative materials. Material manufacturers seek to replicate natural tooth fluorescence, necessitating the development of novel techniques to detect them.
