Accuracy of caries detection with four storage phosphor systems and E-speed radiographs

Abstract

For approximal caries using the longer exposure time, no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy was found between DenOptix, Digora(blue), Digora(white) and Ekta Plus which were all significantly more accurate than the Cd-dent. For occlusal caries using the longer exposure time, Digora(blue) was found to be the most accurate of the digital systems. The exposure time had an influence on the diagnostic accuracy with the DenOptix and Digora(blue) systems for approximal and with the Digora(blue) system for occlusal caries detection.
