Intraoral scanning and CBCT for detecting dental plaque and cavities

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective clinical study will use intraoral scans (including white-light imaging and caries-detection features) and CBCT to identify dental plaque and caries in adults. Plaque detection on IOS will be compared against plaque-disclosing agents, while caries detection on IOS and CBCT will be compared with conventional visual inspection and bitewing radiography. Participants must be able to tolerate an intraoral exam and have at least 20 teeth present. Diagnostic performance measures such as sensitivity and specificity will be calculated to compare the imaging approaches with current clinical reference standards.
