Discussion

Assessment highlights diagnostic performance for tooth surfaces, indicating the scanner is less effective for initial caries.

Diagnostic accuracy is lower for initial lesions compared to moderate/severe lesions.
Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for various tooth surfaces in a population aged 6-88 years.
The study compared automated caries detection with visual and radiographic evaluation methods.
Findings suggest current technology cannot replace traditional examination techniques for accurate caries detection.
