Clinical applicability of the radiographic method for determining the thickness of calcified crown tissues.
A previously developed radiologic method for determining the thickness of the mineralized crown tissues was applied clinically to 10 teeth diagnosed for extraction. The thickness of the mineralized crown tissues as measured radiographically was compared with that measured directly on the extracted tooth. A statistical analysis indicated accuracy of 4.46%, equivalent to an error of 0.12 mm.
