In conclusion, the various methods of caries detection used, including visual inspection, radiographs, and tactile sensation, have a significant subjective component. The Diagnodent allows clinicians to add a more objective test to their armamentarium. Should the doctor choose to "watch" a suspected lesion and treat with topical fluoride, the area can be monitored for the progression or regression of decalcification.
