Radiographic caries detection vs Reference standard (often histological; also invasive opening)
Advanced proximal carious lesions · Permanent molar surfaces in diagnostic accuracy studies (mostly in vitro; clinical)
Pooled sensitivity for radiographic detection of advanced proximal lesions was 0.444 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.51).
