Abstract

The goal of this study was to evaluate the influence of a PVC Seal Wrap as barrier protection and the influence of auto-claving on the in vitro performance of a laser fluorescence device in detecting occlusal caries lesions in primary teeth. The clinical significance of the experiment is to create a protocol to avoid the possibility of underestimating caries in clinical setting.
