Quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) is a technique for the detection, quantification, and longitudinal monitoring of early carious lesions. The technique is non-destructive and can be used in vivo. Using the natural fluorescence of teeth, and the loss of such fluorescence in demineralized enamel, QLF is a repeatable and valid optical caries monitor. Previously used in smooth and occlusal surfaces, the purpose of this pilot study was to determine if QLF could detect, and longitudinally monitor, demineralization adjacent to a range of restorative materials.
