- Device: Near infrared imaging
- Registration Number
- NCT05919576
- Lead Sponsor
- Marmara University
- Brief Summary
This study aims to determine the effectiveness of an intraoral scanner with near-infrared imaging (NIRI) for the diagnosis of proximal caries.
- Detailed Description
A total of 639 proximal surfaces (mesial-distal) of 22 volunteers without restoration of premolars and molars were examined. Results were scored for 4 different examination methods; intraoral examination by visual-tactile method (VTM), bitewing radiography (BWR), panoramic radiography (PR) and near-infrared imaging (NIRI). Scoring was made according to the type of lesion (0:no caries, 1:early enamel lesion(EEL), 2:lesion involving the dentin-enamel-junction (DEJ). Data were analyzed with IBM-SPSS-V23. McNemar-Test was used for comparison between the methods. The Kappa Test was used to examine the agreement between two methods in categorical data, and the Fleiss-Kappa Test was used to assess the agreement between more than two methods. The analysis results are presented as frequency(percentage).The significance level was considered p\<0.05.

Group Intervention Description Near-infrared imaging Technology (NIRI) Near infrared imaging A total 639 proximal surface of 22 patient examined by using the NIRI feature of an intraoral scanner. Patients who came for restorative treatment were asked whether they volunteered in our study. An informed consent form was signed, and then lower and upper jaw scans were made by investigators.
