A Clinical Study Comparing Digital Radiography and Near ‐Infrared Transillumination in Caries Detection

ConclusionsThe new NIRTI system (CariVu) may serve as an adjunct to BWXR in the diagnosis of proximal caries. Clinical significanceThe NIRTI system could serve as an adjunct diagnostic system that could be used in high‐caries risk programs where patients are closely monitored with regimented follow‐up appointments. NIRTI could also be beneficial with pregnant or pediatric patients, and in situations where radiography may not be available such as remote humanitarian missions.
