Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of laser fluorescence on the diagnosis of cracked teeth, and to explore new techniques for the diagnosis of cracked teeth. Methods: Thirty-seven cracked teeth diagnosed by means of bite tests and microscopic detection were included in this experiment. DIAGNOdent 2190 was used to detect these cracked teeth, and the fluorescence was recorded. The control teeth were detected by the same method. Results: There was a significant difference on the fluorescence between the cracked teeth and the control teeth (P<0.001). The fluorescence values of the cracked teeth were all within the range of early caries. Conclusion: Laser fluorescence can be used to diagnose the cracked teeth. There are varying degrees of early caries in the cracks, and fluorescence can be used to develop treatment plans and assess prognosis.

Key words: Cracked teeth, Laser fluorescence, Diagnosis
