Overview

Diagnosis of dental caries in pediatric dentistry is focused on the early detection of tooth demineralization and cavitation to prevent disease progression. A thorough clinical examination using visual and tactile methods, with proper lighting and a dry field, forms the foundation of diagnosis. Radiographic tools such as bitewing radiographs are invaluable for identifying proximal and hidden carious lesions that are not visible clinically. In addition, modern diagnostic aids like laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent) and fiber-optic transillumination further enhance the accuracy of caries detection. Early and precise diagnosis allows for timely preventive measures and the application of minimally invasive treatment approaches, ensuring better oral health outcomes in children.
