Quantitative Light fluorescence (QLF) of occlusal surfaces of C-F and C-A subjects. Quantitative light fluorescence (QLF) examination was conducted to complement clinical examinations and the DIFOTI procedure. C-A subjects had an average of 12 (range = 6–17) decayed tooth surfaces whereas C-F subjects presented with a decay component = 0. Subjects had an average of 11.5 decayed surfaces and 2.3 restored surfaces. These individuals presented with primary dentition only. C-A subjects had an average of 74 healthy surfaces.
