Abstract
- Background. Dental caries is the most important reason for tooth loss. Clinical examination is the most commonly used technique for occlusal caries diagnosis. The diagnostic power of digital systems is a matter of controversy in this field. The present study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of two photostimulable phosphor plate (PSP) systems for early occlusal dentin caries in vitro. Methods. Sixty-nine extracted molar and premolar teeth were used in this study. The teeth were mounted in triple blocks, and standard radiographs were taken by the Digora and Acteon digital radiographic systems. The original and filter 1-enhanced radiographs were evaluated by two experienced observers twice at an interval of two weeks, and dentin caries was recorded in Tables prepared for the study. The teeth were then sectioned in a buccolingual direction and evaluated under a stereomicroscope. The observers’ reports were compared with microscopic findings as the gold standard. SPSS 23 was used to calculate the kappa coefficient, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the ROC curve (AUC). Statistical significance was set at P
