Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Near infrared transillumination
Near infrared transillumination is applied for initial enamel caries lesion detection.
Non invasive caries treatment
If the active comparator does not detect cavitation, fluoride varnish is applied on the test surface.
Invasive caries treatment
If the active comparator does detect cavitation, a composite restauration is placed
Near-infrared light transillumination device (DIAGNOcam, KaVo, Biberach, Germany)
Visual caries detection + BW
visual caries detection + bite wing radiography (BW): considered as gold standard in caries diagnostics.
Non invasive caries treatment
If the active comparator does not detect cavitation, fluoride varnish is applied on the test surface.
Invasive caries treatment
If the active comparator does detect cavitation, a composite restauration is placed
