Validation of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for the diagnosis of occlusal caries

ScienceDirect May 13 2010 Dentistry

Objectives Detection of pit and fissure caries by current methods is not highly sensitive. In this laboratory study, we examined the use of a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) as a diagnostic tool for occlusal caries. Methods One-hundred and eleven investigation sites of occlusal fissures were selected from 62 extracted teeth and examined visually using conventional dental equipment without any magnification. SS-OCT observations were carried out on the same locations as where the conventional examination had been performed. The teeth were then sectioned using a diamond saw and directly viewed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Presence and extent ...
