Beyond x-rays: Part II -- The glow of demineralization
By Kathy Kincade
For years the mineral loss from enamel and dentin has been known to alter the optical properties of teeth. Now technology developers are hoping to capitalize on this with a fluorescence device to identify demineralization and thus pinpoint dental caries much earlier than is possible with x-rays or visual examination -- before cavitation begins.

However, the jury is still out on how useful they are beyond serving as an adjunct to x-rays and visual exams.
