Conventional bitewing radiography, F-speed film vs Histological validation of dental tissues (gold standard)
Diagnostic accuracy for proximal caries detection (1/3 dentin detection level) · Extracted permanent posterior teeth with proximal surfaces (in vitro)
Under in vitro conditions, conventional F-speed bitewing radiography had a summary ROC AUC of 0.98 for proximal caries detection at the 1/3 dentin detection level; ungraded.
