| Popis: | Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of visual inspection (VI), laser fluorescence (LF pen), fluorescence camera (FC), and alternating current impedance spectroscopy technique (ACIST) for detection of incipient occlusal caries lesions. Histology was used as the gold standard to determine the interexaminer reliability of the methods, among three examiners with different levels of experiences (Examiner 1: 5 years; examiner 2: 10 years; and examiner 3: 25 years). Materials and methods: One hundred two molar teeth were selected. The occlusal surfaces of teeth were evaluated with VI, LF pen, FC, and ACIST devices independently by three examiners. Diagnostic performances of methods were evaluated with binormal receiver-operating characteristics analysis. Interexaminer agreement of detection methods was assessed using Cohen's kappa coefficient values (p |
