This manuscript discusses several advanced technologies currently available for detecting dental caries. Each technology already has a commercialized product that is sold and available on the market. This research also examines the limitations of each technology. Types of technologies are listed in this study are intraoral radiography, near-infrared transillumination (NIRT), light-induced fluorescence, laser fluorescence, electrical conductivity and ultrasound. Apart from these digital diagnostic instruments that are clinically available, numerous more digital diagnostic aids for the detection of dental cavities are still in the development stage and are exhibiting encouraging outcomes in lab settings.
