<i>In vitro</i> early proximal caries detection using trilateral short-wave infrared reflection at 1050 and 1550 nm
Trilateral SWIRR has higher sensitivity and lower specificity for proximal caries, than occlusal SWIRR. For trilateral SWIRR, wavelengths around 1050 nm are more suitable, while 1550 nm is better for occlusal examinations. A combination of SWIRR at 1050 and 1550 nm may exhibit a balanced sensitivity and specificity for proximal caries.
