Objective To compare the accuracy and repeatability of three diagnostic systems (DIAGNOdent, visual and radiographic) for occlusal caries diagnosis in primary molars. Design Two examiner, in vitro, ...

Tooth Surface Loss physiological? pathological? There appears to be no consensus as to what constitutes physiological tooth surface loss. It would be of assistance to practising dentists, if such ...

While fluorescence-based caries detection devices have been shown to offer clinical decision-making support, visual inspection should continue to be the primary detection method for occlusal caries, ...

Dental practitioners have long relied on articulating paper to determine occlusal contact. But some occlusion experts believe there is a better approach, especially when it comes to analyzing bite ...

First, the researchers created 3D digital models of three gorilla lower second molars differing in wear stages. In a second step they applied a Software tool (Occlusal Fingerprint Analyser) developed ...

Tooth decay (dental caries) is a chronic disease that can result in the localised and progressive demineralisation (loss of mineral content) of the hard surfaces of the tooth. It is a multistage ...
