Abstract
Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is one of the most prevalent oral health issues worldwide. Early detection and diagnosis of dental caries are crucial in preventing further damage to the teeth and maintaining optimal oral health. This essay explores recent methods for the diagnosis of dental caries in dentistry. The essay discusses various diagnostic techniques, including visual examination, radiography, and novel technologies such as fluorescence-based imaging and laser fluorescence. The essay also examines the advantages and limitations of these techniques in diagnosing dental caries accurately. Overall, the essay highlights the importance of using advanced diagnostic methods for early detection and effective management of dental caries.
