The accuracy of laser fluorescence (DIAGNOdent) in assessing caries lesion activity on root surfaces, around crown margins, and in furcations in older adults.

The authors conducted a case series to assess accuracy of DIAGNOdent (DD) in assessment of activity of dental caries lesions in root surfaces and in furcations and at crown margins. The study was a prospective, single center case series. The patients were 123 adults (age ≥ 55 years).

Silver diamine fluoride treatment of active root caries lesions in older adults: A case series.

Objective: The authors conducted a case series to determine arrest of root surface caries lesions in older adults when teeth were treated topically with 38 % silver diamine fluoride (SDF).

Methods: The study was a prospective, single center case series. The patients were 62 older adults (age ≥55 years) who sought treatment at a dental school clinic.
