Conventional bitewing radiography, F-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 F-speed bitewing radiography had a pooled diagnostic odds ratio of 8.7 (95% CI 4.2, 18.1) for proximal caries detection at the dentin detection level; ungraded.
