A pilot study on the detection of proximal caries in permanent anterior human teeth using lateral short-wave infrared transillumination at 1300 nm
This is the first pilot study to demonstrate that combining labial and oral short-wave infrared transillumination enables accurate detection of proximal caries in anterior teeth and offers potential as a novel diagnostic tool.
