title: Radiography for the diagnosis of dental caries in posterior teeth.
abstract: The role of radiography in the detection and monitoring of dental caries in posterior teeth is reviewed. Variables in radiographic technique, including the use of different image projections and receptors, are considered. The contribution of radiography to the diagnosis of approximal, occlusal, and recurrent caries is reviewed, as is the use of radiography for the monitoring of caries progression.
