Removal of Simulated Biofilm at Different Implant Crown Designs with Interproximal Oral Hygiene Aids: An In Vitro Study

Objectives: To compare the removal of simulated biofilm at two different implant‐supported restoration designs with various interproximal oral hygiene aids. Methods: Mandibular models with a missing first molar were fabricated and provided with …

Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence Images and Digital Photographs - Reproducibility of Manually Marked Demineralisations

Hard tooth tissue demineralisation is an undesirable side effect of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Whereas both clinically and in digital photographs (DP), demineralisations appear as white spot lesions, WSLs appear as dark areas when …

Non-Rigid Contour-to-Pixel Registration of Photographic and Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence Imaging of Decalcified Teeth

Quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) is widely used to assess the damage of a tooth due to decalcification. In digital photographs, decalcification appears as white spot lesions, i.e. white spots on the tooth surface. We propose a novel …
