Summary

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

Detailed 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.

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	light induced fluorescence camera	The light induced fluorescence intraoral camera works with a visible blue light frequency (wavelength 450 nm) for the illumination of the dental surface and produces an overlapping image of the green fluorescence image on the image of the white light. The green fluorescence image is considered an indicator of healthy dental tissues. The colour of the fluorescence signal is green when the dentin is healthy. The healthy enamel is blue due to the scattered green light of the dentin, despite the lack of a fluorescence signal. On the other hand, caries can be easily detected by dark red fluorescence.
