Effect of alteration in organic material of the occlusal caries on DIAGNOdent readings [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Oral Research, 2004
DIAGNOdent is a laser fluorescence device used for dental caries diagnosis in occlusal and smooth surfaces. Despite the promising preliminary results, the molecules involved in the increase of fluorescence in carious lesions remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the laser fluorescence readings before and after changes in the organic ...

Effects of Fluoride and Calcium Phosphate Materials on Remineralization of Mild and Severe White Spot Lesions

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
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.

Influence of Different Prophylactic Pastes and Cleaning Methods on DIAGNOdent/DIAGNOdent Pen Readings

open access: yesActa stomatologica Croatica, 2007
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.

Chemical Changes of Enamel Produced by Sodium Fluoride, Hydroxyapatite, Er:YAG Laser, and Combined Treatments

open access: yesJournal of Spectroscopy, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
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 ...

Comparison between a laser fluorescence device and visual examination in the detection of occlusal caries in children

open access: yesSaudi Dental Journal, 2012
Occlusal surfaces of molars are especially susceptible to the development of caries due to the features, such as pits and deep fissures, of their anatomical structure.

Comparison of Human and Porcine Natural Tooth Fluorescence—A Scoping Study to Inform Research on Dental Materials and Forensic Dentistry

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 10, Issue 6, December 2024.
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.

Diagnosis of Proximal Caries in Primary Molars with DIAGNOdent pen

open access: yes, 2009
Neben dem Fissuren- ist der Approximalbereich die häufigste Lokalisation für Karies. Aufgrund der Anatomie der Milchmolaren entziehen sich approximale kariöse Defekte bei Engstand im Frühstadium der Diagnose durch Spiegel und Sonde.
