| Early Detection of Dental Caries | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sponsored by: Cariology Research | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: During the past two decades a substantial amount of research has been focused on the development of new technologies for the early detection of dental caries. These methodologies appear to be able to detect the caries process in varying stages of development including the remin-demin and precavitation phases. Several of these technologies have now become available commercially. The purpose of this symposium is to review the state-of-the-art regarding current research using these technologies and provide a forum for discussing their attributes and their limitations. The focus of the scientific presentations and the presenters will be as follows: (1) the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) by Nigel Pitts (Scotland); (2) Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence (QLF) by Susan Higham (United Kingdom); (3) Infra-Red Laser Fluorescence (DIAGNOdent) by Xie Qi Shi (Sweden); (4) Digital Imaging Fiber Optic Trans-illumination (DIFOTI) by Masatoshi Ando (Japan & USA); and (5) Other Caries Detection Methods by Andrew Hall (Scotland). There will be time designated for open discussion after each presentation and at the conclusion of the symposium. The program is supported by Lion Corp (Tokyo, Japan), Ezaki Glico Co. LTD (Osaka, Japan), GC Corp (Tokyo, Japan), and Inspecktor Dental Care (Amsterdam, Netherlands) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
