Digital Imaging Tools Show Potential for Early Caries Detection but Require Improved Specificity: Study
A new study published in BDJ Open has found that intraoral scanners (IOSs) and intraoral cameras (IOCs) show high sensitivity in detecting occlusal and dentin caries, highlighting their promise for early diagnosis. However, researchers caution that their lower specificity compared with traditional radiographic methods can lead to false positives, emphasizing the need for standardized training and refined diagnostic protocols.
