Dental caries is an important problem for human health which is frequently seen under clinical conditions and also progresses slowly, causes severe pain and even tooth loss, and affects the quality of life. Especially in pediatric patients, with the early detection of caries, treatment procedures can be performed with uncomplicated methods. In today's dentistry; preventive applications and minimally invasive approaches are gaining importance, and early diagnosis of initial caries lesions is very important for minimally invasive dentistry. With the development of technology, many new methods are being introduced to ensure the early diagnosis of dental caries. In this review, conventional, contemporary, and developing approaches used in the detection of dental caries will be presented.

“…Observation with DOM ne through direct observation, but there is not much data regarding the advantages of the DOM in pediatric dental medicine. [22][23][24] A group of authors conducted a study regarding the role of magnification in the early diagnosis of carious lesions by comparing the clinical diagnoses of 299 occlusal surfaces, examined directly and with the aid of a DOM. They found that the diagnoses differed most frequently for teeth that were assessed as healthy during direct observation, but were found to have a carious lesion, when observed under magnification.…”

Introduction: Dental operating microscopes (DOM) enable dentists to examine, with the aid of magnification and photodocumentation in clinical conditions, the occlusal anatomy of newly erupted permanent molars and to detect any early carious lesions more precisely. Aim: To determine the advantages of magnifying technology in detecting early occlusal carious lesions in newly erupted permanent first molars. Materials and methods: We examined 176 first molars of 44 children divided into two age groups: 7-8 and 9-10 years. The surfaces of each of the teeth were examined after they were cleaned with a brush without paste. The diagnoses were first made using only illumination and a clinical examination. These were followed by a visual examination of the occlusal surface using a DOM at ×8 magnification. A photo of the occlusal surface was then taken with a camera at the respective magnification for the purposes of photodocumentation. Results: This study demonstrated that dental operating microscopes increased by 7% the rate of successful detection of early caries lesions on the occlusal surfaces. There was also a significant increase of the number of diagnosed cavitated caries in the dentine in comparison with those detected with naked eye. Using DOMs in pediatric dentistry facilitates the more detailed and precise diagnosing of early stage carious lesions and/or cavitations in the fissures. Conclusion: The use of a DOM facilitates differential diagnosing between deep fissures and early carious lesions, which is a key point in the assessment of occlusal surfaces of newly erupted permanent molars, necessary for their preventative sealing and micro-invasive treatment.
