This article explores recent advancements in non-invasive techniques for evaluating enamel demineralization in children. Technologies such as quantitative light-induced fluorescence , optical coherence tomography , and electrical impedance spectroscopy are discussed for their potential to accurately detect and monitor early stages of demineralization. Studies assessing the reliability, reproducibility, and clinical applicability of these methods are highlighted, along with emerging trends in image analysis algorithms to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, the integration of these technologies into routine pediatric dental practice is examined, emphasizing the importance of early detection and preventive interventions to mitigate the progression of dental caries in young populations.
