Background and Aim: Secondary caries are a common challenge for dentists. Many researchers have evaluated the accuracy of digital radiographic systems in the detection of secondary caries and have reported controversial results. Therefore, the aim of this in vivo study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of digital radiography in the detection of secondary caries in anterior teeth. Mate...

introduction: vertical root fracture (vrf) is a common failure in endodontically treated teeth. due to vrf’s poor prognosis, a reliable and valid detection method is critical for treatment planning. conventional and digital radiographs are limited in vrf detection. recently, cone beam ct (cbct) system has been introduced. this study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of these three imagin...

Radiography plays an important role in detection of interproximal caries. The aim of study is to compare diagnostic ability of photo stimulable phosphor (PSP) with direct measurement using stereomicroscope in detecting proximal caries. Hundred proximal surfaces of 50 extracted human posterior teeth were radiographed with dental X-ray unit. The image receptors used was storage phosphor plate Vis...

Secondary caries is the most common cause of dental restoration failures. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of conventional and digital intraoral radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for detection of recurrent caries around composite restorations. mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities were prepared using bur on 45 extracted sound human molar teeth. The teeth were...

Dear Editor, The selection of appropriate diagnostic techniques is an important step in the treatment of disease. An optimal diagnostic method can provide essential information, while minimizing cost and harm to patients. In dental radiography , attempts have been made to reduce patient exposure to radiation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital radiography were developed to achieve...
