Recent Methods for Diagnosis of Dental Caries in Dentistry

In recent years, the early diagnosis of dental caries has gained importance as conservative dentistry is kept in the forefront. Especially in pediatric patients, the dentist should focus on the early detection of dental caries and minimally invasive treatment options. The conventional caries detection methods often fail to detect initial enamel lesions that have not progressed to cavitation. For this reason, various new techniques have been developed aiding early detection of caries. The aim of this review is to give general information about recent caries detection methods and to mention their benefits when used in conjunction with conventional methods.

Diş Hekimliğinde Güncel Çürük Tanı Yöntemleri

Koruyucu diş hekimliğinin ön planda tutulduğu günümüzde, diş çürüklerinin erken tanısı oldukça önem kazanmıştır. Özellikle çocuk hastalarda diş çürüklerinin erken dönemde saptanıp minimal invaziv tekniklerle tedavi edilmeleri amaçlanmaktadır. Diş çürüklerinin tanısında sıklıkla kullanılan geleneksel yöntemler, henüz kavitasyona neden olmamış çürüklerin tanısında yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu nedenle diş çürüklerinin tanısında geleneksel yöntemlere ilaveten yeni yöntemler geliştirilmiştir. Bu derlemenin amacı, çürük tanısında kullanılan güncel yöntemler hakkında genel bir bilgi vermek ve bu yöntemlerin geleneksel yöntemlerle birlikte kullanıldığındaki yararlarından söz etmektir.
