This systematic review was conducted to assess the accuracy of laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdentTM) for diagnosis of occlusal caries in permanent teeth, using any sort of gold standard. The MEDLINE, LILACS, BBO and Cochrane library databases accessed by BIREME were searched for English, Spanish and Portuguese-language papers published between 1982 and 2003. Four works in English were selected. DIAGNOdentTM was found to be an accurate method for diagnosis of occlusal caries, mainly if employed simultaneously with visual inspection.
本系统评价旨在评估激光荧光(DIAGNOdentTM)检测法诊断恒牙窝沟龋的准确性,以任何金标准作为参照。通过 BIREME 检索了 MEDLINE、LILACS、BBO 和 Cochrane 图书馆数据库中 1982 年至 2003 年间发表的英文、西班牙文和葡萄牙文文献。共纳入 4 篇英文文献。结果显示,当 DIAGNOdentTM 与肉眼检查联合使用时,其对窝沟龋的诊断准确性较高。
