Digital Quantification of Dental Plaque Based on Intraoral Scanner Images
Sponsor: University of Guarulhos
Summary
This diagnostic validation study aims to develop and validate a digital method for dental biofilm quantification using three-dimensional images obtained by an intraoral scanner. Twenty participants will undergo intraoral scanning at three time points: before and after plaque disclosure, and after supervised toothbrushing. The digital method's accuracy will be compared with traditional clinical assessment methods (Turesky Plaque Index).

Digital plaque quantification using intraoral scanner
Participants will undergo three-dimensional intraoral scanning at three time points during a single session: initial scanning (T0), after biofilm disclosure with plaque disclosing solution (T1), and after supervised toothbrushing (T2).
