Quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) vs Reference standard (histology; some ICDAS/radiography)
Occlusal caries detection: sensitivity · Extracted human teeth (in vitro); permanent and primary teeth, occlusal surfaces
In vitro, QLF pooled sensitivity for occlusal caries detection was 0.83 (5 studies; ungraded).
