Summary

This study focuses on assessing dental caries, erosive tooth wear, and fluorosis in primary teeth using a 3D intraoral digital scanner. The investigator will validate findings using three key indices: ICDAS (for caries), BEWE (for erosive wear), and TF (for fluorosis). Teeth will be cleaned and examined visually using dental tools and light. After visual checks, teeth will be scanned with a 3D intraoral scanner. Children aged 3-12 years with fully erupted primary teeth, seeking dental treatment at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Indiana University School of Dentistry.

The visual examination and digital scanning will be performed just once and during the dental appointment at the clinic of Pediatric Dentistry following the protocols used in the clinical routine. It is expected to complete the visual examination and the digital scanning in 30 minutes.
