EARLY DETECTION OF DENTAL CARIES

Early detection of dental caries is a critical component of modern preventive dentistry. Identifying carious lesions at an initial stage allows for non-invasive or minimally invasive treatment, preventing disease progression and preserving natural tooth structure. Recent advancements in diagnostic technologies, including digital radiography, laser fluorescence devices, fiber-optic transillumination, and artificial intelligence-based systems, have improved the accuracy and reliability of early caries diagnosis. This article discusses the importance of early detection, contemporary diagnostic methods, and their clinical significance in improving long-term oral health outcomes.
