Abstract :-The diagnosis of dental caries or tooth decay in the early stage of its formation is quite a difficult and often inaccurate science. There are very few quantitative and valid methods to determine the health and integrity of tooth structure underneath the enamel surface especially in inaccessible interproximal surfaces. An ideal diagnostic test would enable the clinician to accurately assess the presence or absence of a lesion, to quantify its size and depth, and to determine its activity. The concepts of caries diagnosis have been changing in the current decades and there is a shift of spectrum towards non invasive modalities. This review would give a bird’s eye view about the changing traditional concepts as well as recent trends in caries diagnostics.
