Diammine silver fluoride has been used for preventive therapy of dental caries in pediatric dentistry. However, dental caries are often difficult to identify by visual inspection.<BR>Recently, a laser fluorescence system (DIAGNOdent<SUP>®</SUP>) has been developed. This laser system has higher diagnostic validity for the detection and quantification of varied lesions than an electronic caries monitor, and it has higher measurement reproducibility.<BR>The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of the laser diagnosis system to detect caries after diammine silver fluoride application.<BR>Eight extracted teeth, which had occlusal dental caries as judged by visual inspection, were studied. A total 28 points were evaluated on the experimental teeth.<BR>DIAGNOdent<SUP>®</SUP> values were measured before, immediately after, and at 1, 2, 5, and 7 days after drug application.<BR>The DIAGNOdent<SUP>®</SUP> values were statistically decreased after treatment with diammine silver fluoride for all of the experimental teeth.<BR>These results suggested that DIAGNOdent<SUP>®</SUP> was not able to detect the carious state after diammine silver fluoride application, however results were revealed reflected fluorescence on carious lesion, and statement of drug applications.
