Dental caries: the use of quantitative light-induced fluorescence as a method of early detection

“We conducted the first bibliometric review on the 100 most cited articles on the subject,” explains Giusy Rita Maria La Rosa, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine at the University of Catania and researcher at CoEHAR. “The studies included in the review involved 160 authors from 29 different countries and were published across 45 journals. The publication period ranges from 1999 to 2020. The data we collected will provide the basis for a critical evaluation by doctors and researchers, promoting advancements in the management and treatment of widespread dental diseases such as caries".

CoEHAR study: smoking contributes to dental plaque and bad breath

Researchers compared measurements of dental plaque among current, former, and never smokers using an innovative light-induced fluorescence technology. Objective quantification of dental plaque was necessary to conduct reliable comparisons between smokers and non-smokers.
