Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can the tool find tooth decay as accurately as traditional visual and X-ray examinations? How reliable is the tool when used by different dentists?
Participants will:
* Have one tooth scheduled for extraction. This tooth and its adjacent teeth need to be examined before the extraction by using the intraoral scanner with the caries detection tool, which takes about 5 extra minutes. Those results will be compared to the standard dental examination, including visual inspection and X-rays.
* Allow investigators to check the extracted tooth and the neighboring teeth directly after extraction to see if any carious lesion is visible.
This study does not involve any drugs or invasive procedures beyond the planned tooth extraction, and participants will not be exposed to extra radiation. The results will help dentists detect tooth decay, which may allow less invasive treatments and better prevention.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
intraoral scan
intraoral scan with integrated caries detection tool
The intervention in this study is the addition of a non-invasive intraoral scan of the tooth scheduled for extraction and its adjacent teeth using the iTero Lumina device. This scan is CE-certified, performed according to the manufacturer's instructions, takes approximately 5 minutes, involves no radiation, and does not change the standard dental treatment. All other procedures, including visual examination, radiographs, and tooth extraction, are part of routine care and are not affected by the study.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Presence of a tooth, that is already scheduled for extraction (indication for extraction diagnosed during the normal clinical service independently of this study by a qualified dentist)
* Availability of a radiograph (X-ray) showing the tooth to be extracted along with adjacent teeth
* Signed informed consent after a comprehensive explanation of the study is available
Exclusion Criteria
* Addicts or participants with impaired cognitive abilities that do not allow the participant to assess the scope of the study
