Conventional bitewing radiography (E-speed film) vs Cavity preparation or biopsy (operative validation)
Diagnostic accuracy for occlusal caries detection at the caries detection level (D0 versus D1-D4) · Human permanent posterior teeth (premolars and molars) in patients, occlusal (pit-and-fissure) surfaces
In in vivo, conventional bitewing radiography (E-speed) pooled sensitivity was 0.80 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.87) for occlusal caries at the caries detection level; ungraded.
