Overview

Scoping review compares diagnostic performance of caries detector dyes and laser fluorescence in selective caries removal, suggesting enhanced clinical protocols.

Key Points

  • Laser fluorescence systems demonstrate higher sensitivity (0.76 to 0.92) and specificity (0.74 to 0.88) for caries detection.
  • Caries detector dyes are easier to use but show greater variability in clinical outcomes.
  • A review of four studies indicates both techniques can effectively aid in selective caries removal.
  • Combining laser fluorescence with magnification tools may optimize clinical outcomes in caries management.
