DIMOH: New Digital Methods for Monitoring Oral Health. An in Vivo Assessment

The objectives of this study are i) to monitor the oral health of young people over a period of one year and ii) to assess the ability of a new intraoral scanner combining fluorescence with 3D imaging to detect and monitor changes in the dental hard tissues in vivo. The working hypotheses of this study are that i) the monitoring of oral health will benefit from using a new intraoral scanner combining fluorescence with 3D imaging and ii) the new intraoral scanner combining fluorescence with 3D imaging will aid dentists to identify changes in the dental hard tissues at earlier stages than the traditional diagnostic methods (i.e. visual-tactile, radiographic methods).
