Abstract

Nitrogen laser-excited fluorescence spectral studies were found to be more suited for detection of caries lesions. The LIF measurement with spectral analysis, done by curve fitting, outscores the diffuse reflectance methodology and shows the potential to screen different levels of tooth decay in a clinical setting.
