The study analyzes a new method for detecting dental caries using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). It compares this approach with conventional visual examination based on the ICDAS system and laser fluorescence (Diagnodent pen) on a sample of 100 extracted teeth at various stages of decay.
The results indicate that DRS achieves higher specificity and accuracy while producing fewer false-positive results compared to other methods. Although the penetration depth of DRS was limited, it yielded promising results, particularly in the detection of early-stage caries. Thus, DRS could serve as a valuable tool for early caries identification and help reduce the need for invasive treatments.

Parking near the clinic
You can park near the clinic in mixed and residential areas.
Purple zone (Mixed)
The purple zone, marked with a discontinuous white line and a traffic sign with a purple stripe is meant for so called mixed parking. Owners of a valid parking permit may use the purple zone without limitations. Others may use it for a maximum of 24 hours and only after paying via the virtual parking clock web app or using the parking ticket machine.
Blue zone (Residents)
The blue zone, marked with a blue line (vertical and horizontal signs) is designated for residents. Visitors may use the blue zone for parking only after paying via the virtual parking clock web app (“Virtuální parkovací hodiny”), as there are no parking ticket machines installed in the blue zone. This way of use of the blue zone allows for maximum time of 3 hours.
