Anam Siddiqui, Sahana S, Anuradha P, Manu Narayan, Sugandha Agarwal, Shweta Singh

Dental caries are a standout amongst the most widely recognized worldwide health issues. Identifying carious lesions under remedial materials is confused in light of the fact that there can be no immediate perception of dental tissue under the regeneration. The accurate evaluation of the extent or activity of caries is a difficult task dependent on several factors like conditions during the inspection, patients caries risk, morphology and training and experience of the dentist. Although the most frequently used diagnostic methods (conventional methods) offer good diagnostic performance, the main drawbacks of the conventional methods are that they still rely on the clinicians subjective interpretation.For more accurate diagnostic approaches, investigators have used recent, non- invasive techniques for detecting & quantifying demineralization lesions. DIAGNOdent may have the capacity to beat this issue and the nonappearance of destructive radiation is another advantage of DIAGNOdent. DIAGNOdent is a symptomatic instrument dependent on laser fluorescence which estimates the contrast between the fluorescence of typical and carious dental tissue. It gives each tissue an alternate score accordingly, decreasing human blunder.
Key word- Caries, diagnosis, laser fluorescence, diagnostic aids, transillumination.
