Digital bitewing radiography, phosphor plate (PSP) 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, phosphor-plate digital bitewing radiography had a pooled specificity of 0.60 (95% CI 0.20, 0.90) for proximal caries detection at the dentin detection level; ungraded.

Digital bitewing radiography, phosphor plate (PSP) 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, phosphor-plate digital bitewing radiography had a summary ROC AUC of 0.92 for proximal caries detection at the dentin detection level; ungraded.
