Quantitative laser fluorescence has been reported as a useful method for the non-destructive in vitro and in vivo diagnosis of early enamel caries. A portable system for intraoral use has been developed with a new light source and filter system replacing the laser light to facilitate clinical application. This new device was validated with microradiographic and chemical analyses for assessment of mineral changes in enamel during lesion formation and remineralization in vitro and compared with the laser light equipment. A significant correlation was found between fluorescence changes and mineral loss: r = 0.79 (laser system) and r = 0.84 (portable lamp system). The correlation between the two fluorescence methods was r = 0.93. The portable fluorescence device seemed to be a promising new tool for reproducible and sensitive assessment of the severity of incipient enamel lesions.
定量激光荧光已被报道为一种用于早期釉质龋非破坏性体外和体内诊断的有用方法。已开发出一种用于口腔内使用的便携式系统，该系统采用新的光源和滤光系统替代激光，以促进临床应用。这种新设备通过显微放射照相和化学分析进行了验证，用于评估体外病变形成和再矿化过程中釉质的矿物质变化，并与激光设备进行了比较。发现荧光变化与矿物质损失之间存在显著相关性：r = 0.79（激光系统）和r = 0.84（便携式灯系统）。两种荧光方法之间的相关性为r = 0.93。便携式荧光设备似乎是一种有前景的新工具，可用于对初期釉质病变的严重程度进行可重复和敏感的评估。
