Reliability of Secondary Caries Detection Around Composite Restoration Using Light Induced Fluorescence

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
A total of 29 volunteer patients will be assigned in this study. Each patient should have one resin composite restoration. The restoration will be evaluated by two diagnostic methods (D), where D1 represents visual-tactile assessment method (modified USPHS) and D2 represents light induced fluorescence intraoral camera

Detailed Description
-----------------
Three operators, the researcher and the 2 supervisors, from the Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, will be the examiners in this study. 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, probe under good illumination condition, while the fluorescent-aided identification method will be performed by light induced fluorescence intraoral camera

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Interventional Model Description: Screening of patients that come to the conservative dentistry department seeking dental care will continue until the target population is achieved. The patients' restorations will be subjected to visual examination and diagnosis using dental charts. Once the patients that are potentially eligible for this study are identified, they will be contacted by the research investigator who will explain the study and ascertains the patient's interest. If interested, more detailed evaluations and preparations are made.
Masking: None (Open Label)
