Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To detect of occlusal caries
Primary Outcome Measure: 1.To detect of occlusal caries To detect occlusal caries.42 teeth with initial non cavitated caries will be examined by kavodiagondent and then radiographed. The occlusal surfaces will be carefully scanned and measured 3 times when wet, and 3 times after they had been wiped with paper tissues and exposed to air for about 2 min in room temperature.the teeth will be radiographed.The radiographs will be examined by 4 radiologists. The observers will be instructed to select one of five ratings to represent his or her level of confidence that a carious lesion was present or not in the occlusal surfaces of the teeth. The following scale was used: 1 = definitely not caries, 2 = probably not Caries, 3 = questionable, 4 = probably caries, and 5 = definitely caries. the light microscope will be used as gold standard.

Study Arms (1)
Extracted teeth
OTHERExtracted teeth with intial caries without cavitation is examined by diagnodent and digital imaging and then by light microscope
Interventions
using DIAGNDENT depends on the principle that when 655nm wavelength of Diode laser is irradiated on dental surface, intraoral bacteria metabolites will absorb it and then metabolites emit a red fluorescence. The dental surface will reflect this fluorescence and gives number between 0 and 99 on the screen of the DIAGNdent.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Extracted posterior teeth Visually intact occlusal surfaces or a variety of occlusal carious lesions, but no obvious cavities
- Removal of organic material and stains from the surfaces, the teeth will be immersed in 10% sodium hypochlorite solution for 20 min, followed by rinsing in distilled water for 20 min. The teeth will then stored in saturated thymol solution or formalin.
- The teeth will be arranged in pairs and mounted in plaster blocks.
You may not qualify if:
- Teeth with deep cavity
