Evaluation of Various Caries Diagnostic Devices in Occlusal Caries Detection in Conjunction with Visual Inspection: An In vivo/ In vitro Study.
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate in vivo and in vitro conditions for the effectiveness of the devices DIAGNOdent Pen, Caries ID, and CarieScan Pro in conjunction with ICDAS II in diagnosing occlusal decay. 88 permanent molar teeth chosen for extraction were used. The teeth were assessed with the ICDAS II system and evaluated using the DIAGNOdent Pen, Caries ID, and CarieScan Pro in vivo and in vitro. Scoring with visual inspection and scoring with each caries diagnostic device were analyzed together and a single score was obtained. After these examinations, sections were obtained from the specimens for histological examination. Evaluation with the ICDAS II system resulted in the findings of Caries ID in vivo and the findings of the DIAGNOdent Pen in vitro being different from those of histological examination. Only the findings of the DIAGNOdent Pen in vitro with ICDAS II were found to be similar to the histological evaluation findings. At the D3 level, in vivo, ICDAS II showed the highest values (0.67–0.85). In vitro, Caries ID showed the highest values (0.78–0.84). Under in vivo conditions where the devices were used with the ICDAS II system, the DIAGNOdent Pen showed the highest values (0.73–0.85). Findings under in vitro conditions were similar to those in vivo, with the DIAGNOdent Pen showing the highest values (0.82–0.80). Thus, none of the methods were found to be effecetive for initial diagnosis of occlusal decay. The methods were found to be more relatively successful in diagnosing dentin level.
