Participant Flow

Patients were recruited by 5 Investigators from 4 UK, dental practices between 14 January and 04 May 2017. 110 patients attended Visit 1 and were imaged with the Calcivis System, therefore data from 110 patients are included in the safety and agreement populations.

Unit of analysis: Teeth

Measure
Sound and Unsound Teeth
Sound (ICDAS 0) canines or incisors and unsound (ICDAS 2 or 3) molars or pre-molars - imaging with the Calcivis System Imaging with the Calcivis System: Following identification of both sound and unsound tooth surfaces, the teeth will be air-dried. Both black \& white and luminescent images will be taken. The images of each tooth will be overlaid and a resulting demineralization map of the tooth produced, indicating areas of elevated bioluminescence corresponding to free calcium ions on the surface of the tooth (active caries)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0

Population: From the 110 patients recruited and imaged with the Calcivis System, 90 provided a sound tooth (ICDAS 0) and 86 provided an unsound tooth (ICDAS 2 or 3) with interpretable images were included in the Primary Agreement Analysis

3 adverse events

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0

Population: Patient Questionnaires were completed for all 110 patients imaged at Visit 1 and comprised two questions and the patient was asked to tick the most appropriate response on a three-point scale e.g. good, neither good nor bad, bad etc

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0

Population: User Questionnaires were completed by the dentist and nurse at the end of every imaging session about their experiences using the Calcivis System. Imaging sessions could include one or several participants, therefore multiple participants could be accounted for in a single User Questionnaire providing 61 questionnaires covering 110 participants.
