Abstract
A caries detection device includes: a screening optical system that irradiates a tooth with a near-infrared ray from a light source to detect transmitted light through the tooth; and a Raman scattered light detection optical system that irradiates a caries candidate area of the tooth detected from information of the transmitted light with a near-infrared ray from the light source to detect Raman scattered light generated from the caries candidate area.
