title: [The value of the different radiological examining methods in caries diagnosis]
abstract: This in vitro study compared the results of clinical examination (abbreviation CE) and the three radiological methods (i.e RVG-radiovisiography) on occlusal and proximal caries diagnosis,using pathological observation as the final standard.The results are:on occlusal caries diagnosis,CE provide the most accordant result to the pathological result.There are statistically significant differences between SR and CE,BW and CE.1st suggests that to occlusal caries diagnosis,CE is still a convenient and efficient way.On proximal caries diagnosis,there are statistically significant differences between SR and CE,BW and CE.BW has the most coincident result with pathological one.
