Abstract

ABSTRACT This work has explored the feasibility of light fluorescence technique in treating dental caries. The decision to focus on this topic was based on the premise that the existing techniques of treating dental caries and other oral conditions are less sensitive, costly, and sometimes, destructive. Using a systematic review process where 36 articles were evaluated using a PRISMA approach, the work has shown that the light fluorescence technique has many benefits when compared to traditional approaches. Some of the traditional techniques used for treating dental caries include radiographic imaging, tactile, and visual examination. Despite the extensive utility of these approaches, light fluorescence technology emerges as a more reliable technique owing to the wide range of benefits such as sensitivity and ability for early detection. The review shows that a lot still needs to be done to understand many other benefits that come with the adoption of light fluorescence technology.
