Impact of Low Level Magnification on Incipient Occlusal Caries Diagnosis and Treatment Decision Making
Introduction: This in-vitro study aimed to test the accuracy and reproducibility in detection of incipient occlusal caries and treatment decision making using unenhanced visual–tactile technique and low level magnification by the use of loupes and surgical operating microscope (SOM). Methodolog...

| description | Introduction: This in-vitro study aimed to test the accuracy
and reproducibility in detection of incipient occlusal caries and
treatment decision making using unenhanced visual–tactile
technique and low level magnification by the use of loupes and
surgical operating microscope (SOM).
Methodology: Sixty extracted human posterior teeth were
assessed by two examiners using ICDAS- II index and CPI- TN
probe, with and without magnification. Histopathology was
used as gold standard for diagnosis of caries and treatment
decision making. Inter and intra examiner reproducibility was
determined using Kappa statistics.
Results: Intraobserver reproducibility for caries detection using
surgical operating microscope ranged from average to good
(0.4-0.63). Inter-examiner reproducibility values for treatment
decision making using experimental techniques such as
unaided (0.40), Loupes (0.51) & SOM (0.63) were similar. |
