Development Objective Methods Fluorosis Diagnosis

项目摘要

DESCRIPTION: Methods currently used to diagnose Dental fluorosis rely on subjective measurements based on epidemiological indices. This has resulted in lack of diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and has led to inconsistencies in data summary and report. The proposed investigation Aims at developing objective and quantitative methods for fluorosis diagnosis using imaging technology (Quantitative Light Fluorescence [QLF] and digital intraoral photography) and visual examination. Validation of results will be provided by direct microanalysis of fluoride content and 3-d quantification of mineral content of fluoride-related hypomineralization. Both extracted teeth and children ages 7 to 13 will be examined as part of the study. Identification of selected surfaces as fluorosis cases or non-fluorosis cases will be performed visually and will be recorded with QLF and digital intraoral photographs. A method to quantify fluoride-related hypomineralization using micro CT will be developed. Methods to quantify captured images using image analysis software will also be developed. Sensitivity, specificity and repeatability of each method will be assessed. The development of objective methods for Dental fluorosis diagnosis will improve Dental fluorosis and fluoride research. The proposed investigation will provide the opportunity to identify such methods for the assessment of Dental fluorosis. It will provide the methodological framework to resolve discrepancies that currently make it difficult to compare results of studies dealing with the epidemiology, and the biological and esthetic effects of Dental fluorosis.

描述：目前用于诊断氟斑牙的方法依赖于基于流行病学指数的主观测量。这导致缺乏诊断敏感性和特异性，并导致数据总结和报告不一致。本研究旨在通过影像学技术（定量光荧光[QLF]和数字口内摄影）和目视检查，建立客观、定量的氟中毒诊断方法。结果的验证将通过氟含量的直接微量分析和与氟有关的矿化不足的矿物质含量的三维定量来提供。作为研究的一部分，将对拔牙和7至13岁的儿童进行检查。将对选定表面进行视觉识别，确定为氟中毒病例或非氟中毒病例，并使用QLF和数字口内照片进行记录。将开发一种使用微型CT定量氟相关矿化不足的方法。还将开发使用图像分析软件量化捕获图像的方法。将评估每种方法的灵敏度、特异性和重复性。氟斑牙客观诊断方法的发展将促进氟斑牙和氟研究的发展。拟议的调查将提供机会，以确定这种方法来评估氟斑牙。它将提供一个方法框架，以解决目前难以比较流行病学研究结果的差异，以及氟斑牙的生物和美学影响。
