Summary

This study tested whether a 3D intraoral scanner can find cavities, tooth wear, and fluorosis in children's baby teeth as well as a traditional visual exam. 36 children aged 3-12 had their teeth cleaned, examined visually, and then scanned. The goal was to see if the scanner is a reliable, comfortable tool for spotting dental issues. Results may lead to quicker, less invasive checkups for kids.
