Repeatability of dental plaque quantitation by light induced fluorescence technology in current, former, and never smokers

Repeatability of dental plaque quantitation by light induced fluorescence technology in current, former, and never smokers

Abstract Background The effects of smoking on the accumulation of dental plaque have not been studied in depth. We compared dental plaque quantitation obtained with a novel light induced fluorescence technology among current, former, and never smokers and verified measurements’ repeatability. Method...
