Conventional bitewing radiography (E-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 E-speed bitewing radiography had a pooled diagnostic odds ratio of 31.40 (95% CI 14.31, 68.93) for proximal caries detection at the dentin detection level; ungraded.

Conventional bitewing radiography (E-speed film) vs Direct visual examination after tooth separation or bioptical cavity preparation

Diagnostic accuracy for proximal caries detection (dentin detection level) · Patients with permanent posterior teeth, proximal surfaces assessed clinically (in vivo)

Under in vivo conditions, conventional E-speed bitewing radiography had a pooled specificity of 0.91 (95% CI 0.80, 0.96) for proximal caries detection at the dentin detection level; ungraded.
