Near-IR and CP-OCT imaging of suspected occlusal caries lesions.


ABSTRACT: Radiographic methods have poor sensitivity for occlusal lesions and by the time the lesions are radiolucent they have typically progressed deep into the dentin. New more sensitive imaging methods are needed to detect occlusal lesions. In this study, cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT) and near-IR imaging were used to image questionable occlusal lesions (QOC's) that were not visible on radiographs but had been scheduled for restoration on 30 test subjects.Near-IR reflectance and transillumination probes incorporating a high definition InGaAs camera and near-IR broadband light sources were used to acquire images of the lesions before restoration. The reflectance probe utilized cross-polarization and operated at wavelengths from 1,500 to 1,700?nm where there is an increase in water absorption for higher contrast. The transillumination probe was operated at 1,300?nm where the transparency of enamel is highest. Tomographic images (6?×?6?×?7?mm3 ) of the lesions were acquired using a high-speed swept-source CP-OCT system operating at 1,300?nm before and after removal of the suspected lesion.Near-IR reflectance imaging at 1,500-1,700?nm yielded significantly higher contrast (P?
