Identification of dental caries and establishment of new caries removing method

本研究的目的是评价定量光诱导荧光(QLF)技术在根面龋病诊断中的作用。每隔3个月至12个月，选择目检确定为早期的根面龋，由QLF记录。此时，应用去龋染料溶液(龋病探测器)记录QLF图像。此外，使用数码相机记录了病变情况。作为图像分析系统(Δ-PRO，Inspector)的一项指标，QLFPRO可以检测到多发性龋病的进展以及眼科检查中R值的增加。QLF对龋病的诊断有一定的实用价值。有必要进行更多的临床研究，以确定QLF对根癌的诊断。

The aim of this research was to evaluate the diagnosis of the root caries using the Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF). Root caries which was determined as the early stage by eye inspection was selected and recorded by the QLF at every 3 months up to 12 months. At this time, the QLF image was recorded after application of caries disclosing dye solution (Caries Detector). Also, the lesion was recorded using a digital camera. Progress of mot caries could detect by QLF as well as the eye inspection increasing ΔR value which was an indicator of the image analyzing system (QLF-pro, Inspector). The QLF seemed to be useful for the diagnosis of the mot caries. More clinical research would be necessary tar establishing the diagnosis of the root canes by the QLF.
