The Effect of Surface Defects in Early Caries Assessment using Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF) and Micro-Digital-Photography (MDP)”
Conclusions QLF measures ?F and ?Q were strongly correlated with lesion depth in lab- simulated lesions with no surface loss, but not among lesions with surface defects. The two MDP-associated measures, ?R and ?X, could not be said to differ significantly when lesions with and without surface defects were compared with lesion depth. Because intact lesions can be remineralized, accurate assessment of their status is imperative for caries treatment. Clinical significance Dental Caries is still widely prevalent today. We now know that with early stage detection, remineralization can be accomplished.

Wear evaluation of the human enamel opposing different Y-TZP dental ceramics and other porcelains
Conclusion The wear behavior of human enamel and feldspathic porcelain varies according to the type of substrate materials. On the other hand, 3 zirconia ceramics caused less wear in the abrader than the conventional ceramic. Clinical Significance Dental professionals should be aware of the wear effect of dental restorations on the opposing teeth or restorations. The amount of enamel wear was highest in feldspathic porcelains whereas zirconia ceramics caused less wear on the opposing teeth. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
