Validation of Near-infrared Light Transillumination for Interproximal Enamel Caries Detection: A Clinical Controlled Trial

University of Bern·interventional·Posted Jan 18, 2016·Updated Aug 18, 2016

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Non invasive caries treatment, Invasive caries treatment, and 2 other interventions for Dental Caries. Completed, enrolled 35 participants.

Detailed Summary

The aim of this study is to validate a near-infrared light transillumination device (DIAGNOcam, KaVo, Biberach, Germany) for interproximal enamel caries detection and compare it with the established diagnostic methods (visual examination and bitewing radiography). The aim is to avoid/reduce ionizing radiation for caries diagnostic purposes.
