Value of Bitewing Radiographs in Detection of Occlusal Caries

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1979
Abstract A system of diagnosing occlusal caries from bitewing radiographs was developed in an attempt to overcome the problems of clinical diagnosis found in other studies. Standardised bitewing radiographs for 1172 Berkshire schoolchildren aged 11–13 years who were participating in a toothpaste trial, were assessed for occlusal caries under uniform ...

Occlusal Caries Detection and Quantification by DIAGNOdent and Electronic Caries Monitor: In Vitro Comparison

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2002
The Electronic Caries Monitor (ECM) and the recently introduced laser-based KaVo DIAGNOdent have been developed as clinical diagnostic aids in the detection and quantification of occlusal carious lesions. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare their reproducibility and validity.

The Influence of Audit on the Diagnosis of Occlusal Caries

Caries Research, 2009
Audit is widely used to improve the quality of care in both medicine and dentistry but has not always been subject to systematic evaluation. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of an audit exercise on the diagnosis of occlusal caries. Using combined visual and radiographic methods, 11 dentists assessed 60 extracted molars for occlusal caries

Clinical Diagnosis of Occlusal Dentin Caries

Caries Research, 2009
An occlusal restoration is usually considered necessary when a lesion extends into the dentin. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the clinical appearance of occlusal caries and the lesion depth. Special attention was paid to differentiate the inner, partly demineralitzed layer of carious dentin that should be preserved from the outer ...

The Evidence Supporting Alternative Management Strategies For Early Occlusal Caries and Suspected Occlusal Dentinal Caries

Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice, 2006
To assess the strength of the evidence describing the effectiveness of alternative strategies to the detection and management of early occlusal caries and suspected occlusal dentinal caries.Nine detection and intervention decision points were identified as being central to the management of early occlusal caries and suspected occlusal dentinal caries ...

Restorative treatment decisions on occlusal caries in Scandinavia

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica, 2001
In order to map variations in the operative treatment threshold for occlusal caries, a pre-coded questionnaire was sent to a random sample of 759 dentists in Norway, 923 in Sweden, and 173 in the Danish Public Dental Health Service inquiring about caries and treatment strategies.

Diagnosis of occlusal caries in primary teeth

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2000
Much research has been published over the last few years looking at alternative diagnostic systems for the diagnosis of occlusal caries in permanent teeth, but there has been little research on primary teeth. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of one alternative system (the Electronic Caries Monitor [ECM]) against visual diagnosis for ...

Superpixel-Based Classification of Occlusal Caries Photography

2018 25th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), 2018
Segmentation using superpixels of simple photographic image for classification of occlusal caries according to the lesion severity, makes significant changes to the way experts annotate the image, but also in the way of learning and evaluating of an automatic classifier.
