Comparison images captured by reference device and Plaquefinder. Columns from left to right: reference device white light; reference device plaque mode; Plaquefinder white light; Plaquefinder 405 nm light, segmented Plaquefinder 405 nm light images. In the Plaquefinder 405 nm images, teeth have a natural green fluorescence; plaque fluoresces red. Top row, a-e: plaque coverage of 0.2708 (M1). Middle row, F-J: plaque coverage of 0.1891 (M2). Bottom row, K-O: plaque coverage of 0.0213 (M3). Spectroscopic readings from M1 and M2’s red fluorescence are available in an additional document [see Additional file 2]
