Résumé
This study compared the performance of near-infrared light transillumination (NILT; DIAGNOcam [DC]) in detecting occlusal caries lesions in deciduous molars with the performance of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS), digital radiographic method (RX) and laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent pen [LFpen]). Fifty-seven extracted deciduous molars with no frank cavitation caries lesions were selected. One site per tooth was evaluated twice each by two examiners using all methods. Then, a histological examination was performed using a stereomicroscope. The performance of the methods was assessed with respect to two thresholds: D A weighted kappa and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for intra- and inter-observer reproducibilities, varying from 0.31 (RX) to 0.89 (LFpen). The intra-observer reproducibility at D NILT technology (DC) and LFpen exhibited similar performance for the detection of occlusal caries lesions in deciduous molars when compared with ICDAS criteria.
