Sažetak
Dental caries is still the most widespread oral disease. The occlusal surface is the most susceptible to caries. This is the area where reliable caries detection is the most difficult to perform. Occlusal caries is largely conditioned by the morphology of the fissure system, which can be described as extremely susceptible to biofilm adhesion. Although some researchers believe that the morphology of fissures and pits on the occlusal surface does not influence the development and progression of carious lesions, their shape and depth could make caries diagnosis difficult. The aim of this study is to examine the possible differences between different methods for occlusal caries detection in premolars. Material and methods: The study sample consisted of 116 premolars. All teeth were examined visually, and the appearance of the lesion was classified according to UniViSS criteria, then by using laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent 2095) and digital retro-coronary radiographs. Validation method was cavity opening. Results: Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were calculated for each diagnostic method, at diagnostic tresholds of enamel and dentin caries. Conclusion: There is no difference in the values of sensitivity and specificity of visual inspection, laser fluorescence and digital radiography in the detection of occlusal caries on premolars. But, a comparison with similar research on molars, proved that there are differences among methods when performed on a different types of tooth.
