Abstract：
Technological improvements have introduced significant innovations in dentistry and broadened the array of tools and techniques in dental care. One technological development that has been widely researched over the past 20 years is the use of Near-Infrared Transillumination (NIRT) imaging for the diagnosis of dental caries. This paper aims to introduce a comprehensive collection of NIRT images, intended as a reference tool for routine dental examinations, dental research, pedagogical activities, and forensic odontology. The collection presents pairwise clinical and NIRT images categorized as follows: (a) healthy teeth, (b) carious teeth, (c) restored teeth, (d) enamel defects, and (e) diverse findings. This atlas could be a valuable tool for the dental community as it is designed as an identification guide of NIRT illustrated dental features.
摘要：
技术改进为牙科带来了重大创新，并扩大了牙科护理工具和技术的范围。在过去20年中广泛研究的一项技术发展是使用近红外透射照明（NIRT）成像来诊断龋齿。本文旨在介绍一个全面的NIRT图像集合,旨在作为常规牙科检查的参考工具，牙科研究,教学活动，和法医牙科学。该集合呈现了成对的临床和NIRT图像，分类如下：（a）健康的牙齿，(b)龋齿，(c)修复的牙齿，(d)釉质缺陷，和(e)不同的发现。该地图集可能是牙科界的宝贵工具，因为它被设计为NIRT说明牙齿特征的识别指南。
