Sažetak
There is a large number of visual systems for describing carious process propagation on dental surfaces. Despite numerous advantages, all these systems show some deficiencies. Wishing to overcome the deficiencies of visual systems for the detection and description of caries, a group of authors created Universal Visual Scoring System (UniViSS). This system is designed to compensate for the disadvantages of existing visual diagnostic systems, to meet the contemporary requirements set for caries detection / diagnosis and to be flexible. The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic performances of UniViSS on occlusal surfaces in clinical conditions, through sensivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values. The study involved 64 patients, and study sample consisted of 140 permanent molars with established occlusal caries lesion. During clinical examination, each lesion was classified according to UniViSS criteria, and laser fluorescence and digital radiography examination were performed. For ethical reasons, if two of three diagnostic methods confirmed existence of caries lesion, cavity was opened, as validation method. The depth of the lesion propagation was recorded using World Health Organization's graduated probe, as the distance between the deepest point of the cavity and enamel surface. Results of study will be presented tabularly and compared to similar investigations through comparing sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of registered UniViss scores.
