Validation of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for the diagnosis of smooth surface caries in vitro

Conclusions Cross-sectional imaging of the natural caries lesions on smooth enamel surface by OCT enables efficient diagnosis of the lesion type, extent and dentin involvement. Clinical significance SS-OCT can demonstrate the cross-sectional image of smooth surface enamel caries as highlighted zone in tomogram. It is crucial to determine the extentof the lesion, whether it reaches beyond EDJ or not by a non-invasive and safe technique. OCT can give clinicians information about internal tooth structure and will help clinical decision making on surgical intervention. (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
