Comparing the efficacy of laser fluorescence and explorer examination in detecting subgingival calculus in vivo

This paper investigated the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision of laser fluorescence and tactile probing for the detection of subgingival calculus. The gold standard for subgingival calculus detection has always been tactile probing. In this study 27 teeth were collected and 108 surfa...
