Abstract

Quantitative light fluorescence (QLF) can detect about twice as many demineralized precavitated enamel areas a conventional visual examination or any other caries detection instrument. This technology has been used in several controlled clinical trials with the consistent observation that it is capable of monitoring and quantifying changes in the mineral content and size of clinically visible noncavitated white spot lesions; therefore, it can be used to assess the impact of preventive measures on the remineralization and reversal of the caries process. The anticipated future use of QLF with dehydration to identify active areas of demineralization will markedly enhance the utility of this technology in clinical dental research and dental practice.

摘要

定量光荧光（QLF）检测到的脱矿质前期龋损釉质区域数量约为传统视觉检查或任何其他龋齿检测仪器的两倍。该技术已用于多项对照临床试验，一致观察到它能够监测和量化临床上可见的非龋洞性白斑病变的矿物质含量和大小变化；因此，它可用于评估预防措施对龋齿再矿化和逆转过程的影响。预计未来使用QLF结合脱水来识别脱矿质活跃区域将显著提高该技术在临床牙科研究和牙科实践中的实用性。
