Abstract
Fluoride dental decay is the second most common disease around the world. Detection methods for early disease are very crude. Precise oral diagnosis and treatment are very strongly connected to the quality of dental imaging techniques which advances the diagnostic procedure. To study the external appearance of the teeth arches, 2D images are used. CBCT images were used to locate the bone at dental implant sites. Fiberoptic transillumination, fluorescence imaging detects caries. For qualitative and quantitative analysis of dental applications, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is used. Electron caries monitor (ECM), fiberoptic transillumination (FOTI), digital fiberoptic transillumination (DIFOTI), quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) are also some of the detection methods used. Hence, in this chapter, the methodologies are analyzed and compared for easy use of the dentist.
