Radiographic caries diagnosis is evolving with changing disease patterns and technology. Digital imaging offers comparable or better accuracy than film radiography, with advantages like image enhancement and dose reduction.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Radiology
  • Oral Health

Background:

  • Caries prevalence has declined in Western countries, altering lesion patterns.
  • Lesions are increasingly occlusal, concealed, and slower progressing, challenging conventional diagnostics.
  • Diagnostic systems must adapt to these changes and varying user needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review developments in radiographic caries diagnosis.
  • To discuss advancements in conventional and digital imaging techniques.
  • To evaluate diagnostic accuracy in light of evolving caries patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conventional film radiography.
  • Discussion of xeroradiography.
  • Analysis of indirect and direct digital imaging techniques, including image analysis and subtraction radiography.

Main Results:

  • Radiography remains accurate for detecting approximal and occlusal caries in high-prevalence groups.
  • Digital imaging performs as well as or better than film radiography, despite resolution limitations.
  • Digital systems offer image enhancement and dose reduction benefits.

Conclusions:

  • Digital imaging techniques are poised for clinical integration.
  • Advancements in radiographic and digital imaging improve caries detection accuracy.
  • Adapting diagnostic methods is crucial for effective caries management.
