Recent Advances in Diagnostic Techniques for Dental Caries in Dentistry

Abstract

Tooth decay is one of the most common health problems that many people suffer from around the world. Therefore, the process of diagnosing tooth decay must be completed in the early stages to stop the decay process and maintain the aesthetic and functional aspects of the teeth. Many techniques and methods have been developed to detect tooth decay lesions that traditional methods fail to detect early. This review will provide an overview of the most important modern methods and techniques used in detecting tooth decay. Finally, modern methods such as laser fluorescence, quantum light-induced fluorescence (QLF) and Ultrasound Caries Detector help in the early detection of tooth decay lesions.
