A recent study conducted at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill evaluated the reliability and validity of near-infrared imaging (NIRI) technology in orthodontic intraoral scanners for detecting early interproximal caries. The study found that after rigorous training and calibration, NIRI can be used with moderate reliability, high specificity, and moderate sensitivity to detect noncavitated interproximal carious lesions. The research was funded by various organizations including the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation and the Dental Foundation of North Carolina. The findings were published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. [Extracted from the article] |
