Accuracy of Visual Inspection, Fiber-optic Transillumination, and Various Radiographic Image Modalities for the Detection of Occlusal Caries in Extracted Non-cavitated Teeth

Occlusal caries lesions may progress into the dentin without this resulting in a macroscopic breakdown of the enamel surface. Imaging methods may therefore be needed to aid in the visual detection of occlusal caries. It was the aim of this study to evaluate diagnostic accuracy in a laboratory set-up...
