Study Summary
The proposed test is intended to enable dentists to differentiate between cavitated and non-cavitated tooth decay in the areas where teeth are in contact (interproximal surfaces). In these areas, dentists cannot visually inspect for caries, and currently bitewing X-rays (BWs) only correctly detect the presence of enamel decay 15-25% of the time. This low sensitivity can lead to late treatment resulting in unnecessarily large fillings, crowns, pain, root canals, and possible later loss of teeth.
Primary Outcome
The PI will perform the clinical application of the sodium iodide and radiograph the subject. A control radiograph will be taken of tooth crowns before the application of the contrast. Immediately after the contrast application another radiograph will be exposed. If caries is present a lucency will be seen in the control The test radiograph will show either contrast on the tooth surface (non-cavitated) or below the surface (caviiatetd). Rubber impressions will be made of the tooth surfaces and s
