The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of a PVC Seal Wrap as barrier protection and the influence of autoclaving on the in vitro performance of a laser fluorescence device in detecting occlusal caries lesions in primary teeth. The clinical significance of the experiment is to create a protocol to avoid the possibility of underestimating caries in clinical setting.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association of two fluorescent dyes and Laser Fluorescence (LF) device in detecting smooth and occlusal natural caries in primary teeth in vitro.Methods: Measurements were performed with the LF and with LF associated with tetrakis (N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (LF TMPyP) and protoporphyrin IX (LF PPIX) in 72 smooth (63 primary molars) and 134 occlusal sites (81 primary molars). For validation, surfaces were sectioned and sections obtained were evaluated under stereomicroscope. Smooth surfaces were also evaluated using polarized light microscopy and Knoop microhardness. For both smooth and occlusal surfaces, ROC analyses were performed, and sensitivities, specificities and accuracies were assessed. In smooth surfaces, Pearson’s correlation coefficients between LF values and lesions hardness or lesions depth were calculated.Results: LF TMPyP presented higher correlation with hardness and lesion depth than other methods in smooth surfaces. No differences were observed in other parameters among the methods, in both smooth and occlusal surfaces.Relevance: The LF TMPyP might improve performance in quantifying smooth-surface caries lesions in primary teeth. However, the sensitivity is improved at D2 (caries extending into inner half of the enamel but not to amelodentinal junction) threshold when using PPIX in smooth caries lesions. The association of LF with fluorescent dyes does not improve the performance on occlusal caries.

Nas últimas décadas, um dos grandes avanços na Área da Saúde foi o desenvolvimento dos aparelhos de Laser, que possibilitou uma nova abordagem nos procedimentos odontológicos. A Laserterapia tem diversas aplicabilidades na Cariologia, seja como método de diagnóstico, como auxiliar nas medidas preventivas ou como tratamento da cárie dentária. Portanto, o objetivo desta revisão é proporcionar uma leitura atualizada da aplicabilidade da Laserterapia na Cariologia e, para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão literária sistematizada, na base de dados MEDLINE – Pubmed, abrangendo os últimos anos. Mediante esse estudo literário e considerando a evolução dos estudos científicos, ainda existem controvérsias a respeito da eficácia clínica do Laser na Cariologia.Descritores: Lasers; Cárie Dentária; Flúor.ReferênciasSichani AV, Javadinejad S, Ghafari R.

This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the influence of cut-off points on the performance of laser fluorescence(LF) in detecting occlusal caries in permanent and primary teeth. The use of different cut-off points influenced the performance of LF device in detection of occlusal caries in both kind of teeth, but the performance in permanent teeth suffered more influence from variation of cut-off points scales than in primary group.
