The purpose of this study was to use SWIR imaging methods including cross polarization optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT), occlusal transillumination (SWIR-OT), proximal transillumination (SWIR-PT), and occlusal reflectance (SWIR-R) to image interproximal lesions in vivo and compare the sensitivity with radiography.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Participants (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200930) aged 18\u201380 each with a radiopositive interproximal lesion scheduled for restoration were enrolled in the study. Studies have shown that the opposing proximal surfaces across the contact will likely also have lesions. SWIR images were acquired of the adjoining teeth at each contact with an interproximal lesion scheduled for restoration. Lesion presence and depth were assessed on each side of the contact for radiography and each SWIR imaging method. Lesions on radiographs and in CP-OCT images were identified by a single examiner while lesions in SWIR images were identified by a contrast threshold via semi-automatic image segmentation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All SWIR imaging methods had significantly higher sensitivity (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) than radiographs for the detection of interproximal lesions on the teeth opposite those restored.
