Caries diagnosis can be considered a multiple step procedure, starting with identification of the candidate lesion (caries detection), followed by assessment of lesion severity and finally, determination of lesion activity. In the clinical setting, caries lesion progression stage can be currently measured using visual scoring systems that take into account surface features of the tooth surface. This research enhanced my understanding of the different stages of caries and how they were formed. Knowing the different stages of carious lesion in treatment decisions may help to improve prognosis and increase effectiveness of the caries diagnostic systems in the clinical setting.
