      abstract = {This book explains how to optimize clinical conditions for  detection of the earliest visible signs of dental caries  and how best to assess caries activity as a basis for  effective management. The available evidence from the  literature on detection criteria and methods is distilled  and placed in a clinical context to facilitate  implementation in clinical practice. Guidance is offered on  removal of the dental biofilm and the potential impact of  various factors on the performance of different caries  detection devices. The histological changes that occur  during the caries process and their effect on the clinical  appearance of caries lesions are explained. In addition,  several caries classification systems based on visual  detection criteria and designed to allow staging are  presented. Consideration is also given to currently  marketed detection aids, including methods involving light  fluorescence, transillumination, and radiography. In each  case, a summary of the detection performance, based on  available supporting evidence, is tabulated together with  advice on appropriate clinical application. The reader will  find the text to be clearly written and informative, with  many supporting clinical images.},
