“…Digital dental radiography proved to be a reliable tool in detecting initial carious lesions/ especially proximal lesions [7], also using filters as negative images allowed easier and more efficient detection of occlusal lesions [6]. The digital bitewing radiography was proposed to be high value and reliability in detecting proximal caries [8].…”

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of digital radiography and other novel diagnostic tools compared to visual ICDAS criteria. Materials and Methods:Two reviewers performed a literature search up to May 2020 in three databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library. Only in-vivo studies that evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of digital radiography, Diagnodent, Vistaproof, Soprolife, and ICDAS criteria were included.Results: A total of 27 in vivo studies were included in the systematic review. Studies included suggested that digital dental radiography proved to be a reliable tool in detecting initial carious lesions/ especially proximal lesions. The Diagnodent device was proved to be an efficient adjunct to other detection methods, especially in the case of non-experienced clinicians. For VistaCam/VistaProof assessment, it was found that in some articles, VistaCam proved high accuracy in detecting early carious lesions with moderate to strong correlation in comparison to results obtained by visual and tactile methods ICDAS criteria. ICDAS criteria were considered to be sufficient alone in detecting occlusal caries. Conclusions:The in vivo evidence suggested that None of the diagnostic methods alone are sufficient for diagnosis of dental caries.

“…Clinical examination with probes and explorers, visual assessment along with intraoral radiographic lms along with digital radiography are various methods used for detection of carious lesions. The present understanding of biological model of dental caries involves new techniques in caries diagnosis and management (1,2,3). The prevalence of dental caries is very high with some studies showing the rate of 71.35-74.8% (4,5).…”

The global prevalence of dental caries and decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft) is variable in developed and developing countries. Reviews show that dental caries is also adversely affecting the oral health of children in Arab countries. The present review was planned for the data published from 2011 to 2021 to know the current status of the caries prevalence and dmft among children. The review showed an overall prevalence rate of 65.24% in a total of 15319 children with mean dmft score of 3.81 ± 2.97. Four prevalence studies showed average dmft of 5.21 ± 4.01 and 5.29 ± 4.09 for males (988) and females (1060) respectively. The mean dental caries prevalence for the last decade was found to be found decreased compared to the previous two decades but there is no variation in the prevalence rate.

The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic accuracy in proximal caries detection between bitewing radiographs exported from PACS software and taken with a smartphone viewed in a smartphone display. A total of 200 proximal surfaces from digital bitewing radiographs were included in this study. Images of all radiographs were captured from a medical-grade and a common display by an iPhone 8 Plus and stored as JPEG files. Exported DICOM files were converted into JPEG format and transferred to the smartphone used for image capturing. Each proximal surface was rated by 7 observers with 5-point-scale. Weighted kappa test was used to determine intra- and inter-observer agreements. Three certified oral radiologists evaluated the same images on the medical-grade display. Obtained consensus was used to calculate sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and generate ROC curves. T-test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare mean AUC between dentinal and enamel caries and among three image acquiring methods. The result showed that inter- and intra-observer agreement ranged from moderate to almost perfect. Comparison of mean AUC showed significant higher value in group of exported images. While there was no significant difference between group of images captured from a medical-grade display and images captured from a common display. Significant differences between mean AUC in detection of dentinal caries were seen in all image groups. For enamel caries, only mean AUC in group of exported images was significantly higher. Detection of proximal caries should be done using directly exported images from PACS software. Captured images should be evaluated with caution since considerable factors can affect image quality.
