In vitro assessment reveals 3D intraoral scanner improves detection of dental caries and erosive tooth wear, suggesting clinical benefits.

Substantial agreement found between 3D intraoral scanner and visual exam for dental caries assessment.
The study observed a weighted kappa of 0.72 for dental caries and 0.70 for erosive tooth wear.
Assessment using a 3D intraoral scanner was performed on extracted human teeth to evaluate occlusal surfaces.
The findings imply the scanner can support better diagnosis, yet clinical validation is still needed.
