The Effectiveness of iTero Element 5D NIRI System in Early Proximal Caries Detection in Permanent Teeth

China120 participantsStarted 2023-01-01

Plain-language summary

As a new emerging technology for the diagnosis of dental caries, near-infrared imaging requires further research and validation to determine its effectiveness. This study aims to compare near-infrared imaging with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to validate the efficiency of near-infrared imaging in diagnosing proximal caries using large-scale clinical data through retrospective cross-sectional studies.
