SS-OCT images of smooth surface enamel caries obtained noninvasively (A1, B1) and corresponding histological view after cross-sectioning (A2, B2).
In SS-OCT, presence of enamel demineralization is observed as a bright zone because of the increased scattering (arrows). Counter of slight cavitation is also depicted in SS-OCT.
A1, A2: Enamel demineralization without cavitation
B1, B2: Enamel caries with cavitation
