Technological improvements have introduced significant innovations in dentistry and broadened the array of tools and techniques in dental care. One technological development that has been widely researched over the past 20 years is the use of Near-Infrared Transillumination (NIRT) imaging for the diagnosis of dental caries. This paper aims to introduce a comprehensive collection of NIRT images, intended as a reference tool for routine dental examinations, dental research, pedagogical activities, and forensic odontology. The collection presents pairwise clinical and NIRT images categorized as follows: (a) healthy teeth, (b) carious teeth, (c) restored teeth, (d) enamel defects, and (e) diverse findings. This atlas could be a valuable tool for the dental community as it is designed as an identification guide of NIRT illustrated dental features.
技术进步给牙科带来了重大创新,拓宽了牙科护理的工具和技术范围。近红外透照(NIRT)成像用于龋齿诊断是过去20年中得到广泛研究的一项技术发展。本文旨在介绍一套全面的NIRT图像集,作为常规牙科检查、牙科研究、教学活动和法医牙科学的参考工具。该图像集展示了成对的临床图像和NIRT图像,分类如下:(a)健康牙齿,(b)龋齿,(c)修复牙齿,(d)牙釉质缺损,以及(e)各种其他情况。这本图谱对牙科界可能是一个有价值的工具,因为它被设计为NIRT显示的牙齿特征的识别指南。
