Reflection (
a
), fluorescence (
b
), and OCT images (
c
) of a tooth with stain. The
dot arrow
indicates the OCT scanning position and direction
modalities has a great potential for early detection of dental caries with high
sensitivity and specificity. The three imaging modalities correlate with each other
and/or complement each other in detecting caries, stain, calculus, and other property
changes of tooth structure.
