Overview

As a new emerging technology for the diagnosis of dental caries, near-infrared imaging requires further research and validation to determine its effectiveness. This study aims to compare near-infrared imaging with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to validate the efficiency of near-infrared imaging in diagnosing proximal caries using large-scale clinical data through retrospective cross-sectional studies.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Permanent dentition
  • Participants aged 12 and above
  • Patients who have undergone iTero Element 5D oral scanning, as well as CBCT imaging, intraoral photography, and clinical oral examination within 1 week
  • CBCT or iTero Element 5D oral scanning indicating proximal caries

Exclusion Criteria:

The following teeth were excluded:

  • Third molars
  • Teeth with gross loss of tooth structure (cavitated carious lesions extending to the occlusal or buccal/lingual surfaces)
  • Teeth with amalgam fillings and their adjacent teeth
  • Teeth with crown restorations and their adjacent teeth

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
