CARIES DIAGNOSIS
What is diagnosis?
ASSESSMENT TOOLS
o
Patient History
Clinical examination
Nutritional analysis
Salivary analysis
Radiographic assessment
VISUAL-TACTILE METHOD
RADIOGRAPHY
FIBEROPTIC TRANSILLUMINATION
VISUAL-TACTILE METHODS
o
Visual methods:
Tactile methods:
Dental floss
Shape of fissure
Sharpness of explorer
Force of application
Use of explorer
Non- cavitated:
Areas of demineralization
are non-cavitated
Cavitated Lesions:
Questionable Area:
Root Caries
o
Arrested Caries
o
Recurrent caries
o
RADIOGRAPHY
o
Bitewing radiographs
Caries starts on the walls of the pits & fissures and tends
to spread perpendicular to the DEJ
PROXIMAL CARIES
o
Incipient lesions:
Density along the proximal surface is high which does not permit
the detection of loss of small amounts of mineral content
10
RECURRENT CARIES
o
Incidence- 16%
Pitfalls Of Radiography
11
XERORADIOGRAPHY
o
Disadvantages:
DIGITAL IMAGING
o
12
Manipulation of images
1. Magnification
2.Variable contrast
3. variable density
Advantages:
5. Provision of teletransmission
13
SUBTRACTION RADIOGRAPHY
o
14
Acts as a fixative
DISADVANTAGES
Stains DEJ
FIBEROPTIC TRANSILLUMINATION
o
15
DIFOTI can detect caries on all types of teeth & also detect
incipient & recurrent caries before their visibility on
radiographs
Two systems
16
Porosity
Surface area
Hydration of enamel
Temperature
- patient education
