Why a New Diagnostic Method?
• Prevent cavitation– Spotting trouble early
• early lesions (white spots)• bacterial activity
– Follow trouble through time– Objective support for the prevention process
• Enhance the quality of oral care– Improve the quality of restorations and sealants– Improve, encourage and focus the quality of oral hygiene

Danger Zones: Bacterial Activity
Defective sealant.
Sealant applied over unprepared carious tooth
Red fluorescence indicating caries at the edges of a restoration.
The restoration was replaced, yet secondary caries remains.
Sealants Restorations Hidden Caries
Discolored fissure in a molar identified as ‘sensitive’. Note the red hue around the fissure.
When the fissure was opened, a dentinal lesion was found.

Use During Restorative Procedures
• Diagnose presence of secondary caries
• Check removal of bacterially affected tooth substance
Red fluorescence indicating bacterially affected caries at the edges of a restoration.
Corresponding radiograph: red arrows mark the radio-translucency underneath the restoration.
The restoration was replaced, yet secondary caries remains.

Conclusions• Agreement with visual inspection (Radike)
– better sensitivity– very good specificity
• Quick patient assessment– Amount of initial lesions detected with QLF-Vision indicates
caries risk
• Longitudinal monitoring of lesions– follow de- and remineralization in time
• QLF-Vision is a reliable method for early lesion monitoring

Clinical Validation• 1994 Øgaard and ten Bosch: demonstration of lesion tracking by
measuring scattering properties
• 1995 de Josselin de Jong ea: Improvement of QLF system
• 1997 Al-Khateeb ea: detection of remin with QLF in weekly intervals consistent with microradiography
• 1998 Al-Khateen ea: QLF can be used to evaluate pre-invasive treatment
• 1998 Connersville study (IU):
– QLF appropriate for use on occlusal as well as buccal-lingual surfaces
– QLF is practical for large-scale clinical studies
– QLF detects 4-9 times as many lesions vs. visual inspection
– QLF validity for caries detection supported (ten Cate ea, 1999)

Clinical Validation
• 2001 Traneus ea: QLF is a sensitive method for longitudinal monitoring of incipient lesions on smooth surfaces
• Heinrich ea (to be published): QLF was able to separate groups of high-caries patients (33) that were given prophylaxis with or without the application of fluoride varnish, every 8 weeks for 6 months.

Clinical Validation in Progress• At IUPUI (Dr. George Stookey):
– 2-Year study to validate QLF for the detection of primary caries– 2-Year study to validate QLF for the detection of secondary caries– 18-Month study of QLF to monitor caries in orthodontic patients– 18-Month study of ability of QLF to detect differences in caries
rates in patients provided toothpastes with different concentrations of fluoride
• At Inspektor:– Correlation between red fluorescence and specific bacterial strains.– Clinical study on bracket related incipient caries
