Conventional bitewing radiography (D-speed film) vs Histological validation of dental tissues (gold standard)
Diagnostic accuracy for proximal caries detection (dentin detection level) · Extracted permanent posterior teeth with proximal surfaces (in vitro)
Under in vitro conditions, conventional D-speed bitewing radiography had a pooled specificity of 0.99 (95% CI 0.96, 0.999) for proximal caries detection at the dentin detection level; ungraded.
