Conventional bitewing radiography, F-speed film vs Histological validation of dental tissues (gold standard)

Diagnostic accuracy for proximal caries detection (caries 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 0.72 for proximal caries detection at the caries detection level; ungraded.

Conventional bitewing radiography, F-speed film vs Histological validation (serial sectioning, grinding, hemisection, or microradiography)

Diagnostic accuracy for occlusal caries detection at the dentin caries detection level (D0-2 versus D3-4) · Extracted human permanent posterior teeth (premolars and molars), occlusal (pit-and-fissure) surfaces

In in vitro, conventional bitewing radiography (F-speed) pooled specificity was 0.97 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.998) for occlusal caries at the dentin detection level; ungraded.
