Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study will be conducted to assess diagnostic predictive values of a light induced fluorescence intraoral camera versus those of the visual-tactile assessment method according to FDI criteria in clinical evaluation the margins of resin composite restorations
Detailed Description
Each patient should have at least one resin composite restoration. The restoration will be evaluated by two diagnostic methods.
Each examiner will record the dental findings using both the visual- tactile assessment method and the fluorescent-aided identification method. The visual-tactile assessment method includes the use of mirror, FDI probe under good illumination condition, while the fluorescent-aided identification method will be performed by light induced fluorescence intraoral camera then the reliability of each diagnostic tool will be assessed.
Study Design
- Study Type
- Interventional
- Allocation
- Non Randomized
- Intervention Model
- Parallel
- Primary Purpose
- Diagnostic
- Masking
- Single (Outcomes Assessor)
Masking Description
The assessors will not be blind about the type of intervention/control assessment methods. However it will not be allowed amongst the examiners to exchange any information throughout the entire study period

Arms & Interventions
Light induced fluorescence intraoral camera
Intervention: Light induced fluorescence intraoral camera (Diagnostic Test)
Visual-tactile assessment method according to FDI criteria
Intervention: Visual-tactile assessment method according to FDI criteria (Diagnostic Test)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Repeatability for both diagnostic methods
Time Frame: 20 minutes
Three examiners will record the dental findings of 29 resin composte restorations using both the intervention and control assessment methods. Each method will be repeated twice to calculate the repeatability. The intra-operator agreement will be evaluated using the kappa statistics.
Reproducibility for both diagnostic methods
Time Frame: 1 week
Three examiners will record the dental findings of 29 resin composite restorations using both the intervention and control assessment methods. Each method will be repeated after one week interval to calculate the reproducibility. The inter-operator agreement will be evaluated using the kappa statistics.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
