“…It has been shown that it is superior to panoramic radiography although some special acquisition mode and digital enhancement might improve the performance of it. 6 BW is also superior to pa in caries detection. 7 Results from this study show that most dentists know and practice caries detection using BW.…”

Radiographic caries detection depends not only on correctly acquired radiographs but also on the way they are displayed and interpreted.Objective: This research aims to measure behavioral factors important for caries detection among dentists. Materials & Methods:A sample of 206 dentists was surveyed using a self-reported questionnaire after a focus group and a pilot study. Questions asked were related to the type of image used, the way the image is displayed, the use of magnification, and the use of vision correction aids if needed. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results:The use of the following was BW (>95%), viewing box (68%), masking extra-light (<15%), dimming room's light (<15%), magnification (<13%), and vision correction aid (85% from those who need it). The most frequently reported reasons were "availability" and "lack of knowledge". Conclusions:There is a significant undesirable behavioral practice during radiographic caries detection among the studied sample. The main reasons seem to be "convenience" and lack of knowledge.

“…Unenhanced digital scanograms exhibited a statistically significant lower diagnostic accuracy than Insight film. 24 Including image manipulation and a reduction in radiation required to obtain a diagnostic image.In addition, Alkurt MT showed that the diagnostic performance of Eand F-speed films and direct digital radiography are similar for proximal caries detection. 25…”
