Abstract
A method for identification of caries, executed at least in part on data processing hardware, captures a plurality of blocks of digital tooth images, each block of tooth images comprising a fluorescence image and one or more reflectance images. At least one registered fluorescence image is generated from the fluorescence image and the one or more reflectance images. A combined image is generated using each of the one or more reflectance images and the at least one registered fluorescence image.
