Abstract

This article provides readers with an overview of the latest developments in caries detection using radiology, laser fluorescence, and transillumination. Different imaging techniques, methods to assess diagnostic accuracy, and factors affecting the diagnostic accuracy of imaging in film and digital receptors are discussed. In addition, the DIAGNOdent and DIFOTI devices are introduced as possible supplemental techniques for detecting incipient and hidden carious lesions.
