A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Near-Infrared Imaging and Panoramic Radiography for Caries Detection

NIRI showed superior performance in early caries detection. Compared to panoramic radiography, NIRI is more sensitive and avoids ionizing radiation, making it safer and more comfortable. Its reliability and patient-friendly nature support its use as a promising tool in routine preventive dental care.
