To review the data available on the laser-induced calculus fluorescence phenomenon and the calculus detection devices as well as to determine the clinical relevance of using commercialized calculus detection devices in periodontal treatment.
In vitro or in vivo English publications found on Medline.
In vitro and in vivo studies showed that the devices on the market had a satisfactory detection capacity. Very few studies demonstrated that the erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) laser debridement, when performed with automatic calculus detection, could lead to improvements at the clinical level, and the outcome was similar to that obtained with conventional treatments.
Although preliminary data were encouraging, there was a lack of scientific data concerning the calculus detection devices. Therefore, future studies are crucial for determining the clinical relevance of such equipment.
回顾关于激光诱导牙石荧光现象及牙石检测设备的现有数据，并确定在牙周治疗中使用商业化牙石检测设备的临床相关性。
在Medline上检索到的体外或体内英文出版物。
体外和体内研究表明，市场上的设备具有令人满意的检测能力。极少数研究表明，铒：钇铝石榴石（Er:YAG）激光清创术结合自动牙石检测，在临床层面可带来改善，且结果与传统治疗相似。
尽管初步数据令人鼓舞，但关于牙石检测设备缺乏科学数据。因此，未来的研究对于确定此类设备的临床相关性至关重要。
