An in vitro comparison of different caries-detection methods in primary-molars
LF pen showed the highest overall AUC and the greatest sensitivity at the D3 threshold. At the D1 threshold, Midwest Caries ID achieved the highest sensitivity, whereas QLF yielded the highest specificity, minimizing false positives. ICDAS remains a practical, cost-effective option for routine clinical use.
