Abstract

Due to the high frequency of caries lesions within the population and due to the lack of a clear caries diagnosis protocol, new powerful methods of clinical investigation were developed. The purpose of this study was to underline the importance of detecting the incipient caries process with the help of a VistaCam iX intraoral camera, as the majority of initial processes remain undetected clinically and radiologically.
