Abstract

The purpose of this in vivo study was to assess the clinical screening performance of a quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) device in detecting proximal caries in primary molars. Fluorescence loss, red autofluorescence and a simplified QLF score for proximal caries (QS-proximal) were evaluated for their validity in detecting proximal caries in primary molars compared to bitewing radiography. Three hundred and forty-four primary molar surfaces were included in the study. Carious lesions were scored according to lesion severity assessed by visual-tactile and radiographic examinations. The QLF images were analyzed for two quantitative parameters, fluorescence loss and red autofluorescence, as well as for QS-proximal. For both quantitative parameters and QS-proximal, the sensitivity, specificity and area under receiver operating curve (AUROC) were calculated as a function of the radiographic scoring index at enamel and dentin caries levels. Both quantitative parameters showed fair AUROC values for detecting dentine level caries (△F = 0.794, △R = 0.750). QS-proximal showed higher AUROC values (0.757 - 0.769) than that of visual-tactile scores (0.653) in detecting dentine level caries. The QLF device showed fair screening performance in detecting proximal caries in primary molars compared to bitewing radiography.

이 연구의 목적은 펜-타입 quantitative light-induced fluorescence(QLF) 장비의 임상적 유구치 인접면 우식 탐지 성능을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위해 형광 소실, 적색 자기형광 그리고 인접면 우식을 위해 간편화된 QLF 평가 기준(QS-proximal)이 사용되었으며 교익 방사선 영상과 비교, 평가되었다. 총 344개의 유구치 인접면이 분석되었으며 인접면 우식 병소는 시진과 방사선학적 검사 그리고 QLF 검진을 통하여 평가되었다. QLF 영상들을 이용하여 분석된 QLF 매개변수들과 QS-proximal을 방사선학적 평가와 비교하여 장비의 법랑질과 상아질 우식 탐지 능력에 대한 민감도, 특이도 그리고 area under receiver operating curve(AUROC)가 계산되었다. 두 QLF 매개변수 모두 준수한 상아질 우식 탐지 능력을 보였으며 AUROC은 △F = 0.794, △R = 0.750였다. QS-proximal(0.757 - 0.769)은 시진(0.653)보다 더 높은 AUROC을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 펜-타입 QLF 장비는 방사선학적 평가와 비교하여 임상적으로 적용 가능한 성능을 보였다.
