Overview

Retrospective study evaluates caries detection methods in permanent teeth, suggesting alternative diagnostic pathways.

Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the agreement between panoramic radiography, fluorescence-based caries detection, and ICDAS assessment for carious lesions.
  • Retrospective evaluation of TRIOS 5 intraoral scans and panoramic radiographs in 60 patients aged 16–45 years.
  • Classification of findings into scores for both panoramic and fluorescence-based assessments using ICDAS.
  • Statistical analysis using Gwet’s coefficients, Fleiss’ kappa, and mixed-effects logistic regression to evaluate agreement and diagnostic metrics.
  • Higher proportion of teeth classified with initial lesions by TRIOS 5 compared to panoramic radiography.
  • Greater agreement noted between TRIOS 5 and ICDAS visual assessment, especially for molars.
  • Overall agreement among methods was low, with TRIOS 5 providing complementary information to panoramic radiography.
