  • Title: Accuracy of proximal caries depth determination using two intraoral film speeds.
    Author: Jessee SA, Makins SR, Bretz WA.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 1999; 47(1):88-93. PubMed ID: 10321157.
    Abstract:
    Bite-wing radiographs are an integral part of a thorough diagnostic evaluation for interproximal caries. This study evaluates the observers' ability to assess correctly proximal carious lesion depth with two different speeds of intraoral film. Significant underestimation of lesion depths by the observers with both imaging modalities are shown, with no significant diagnostic difference between the two film types for both the presence and extent of caries.
