Why it matters for dental
Dentists evaluating 3D intraoral scanning systems for early lesion detection will want to see how the technology performs on smooth surfaces for caries, fluorosis, and erosive tooth wear before adjusting diagnostic protocols.
Key points
- The January 2027 Journal of Dentistry paper tests 3D intraoral scanning for detection of caries, fluorosis, and erosive tooth wear.
- Researchers compare scanning performance across smooth tooth surfaces and various tooth locations.
- Study authors include faculty from Indiana University School of Dentistry and the University of Michigan.
