Divergence between diagnostic healthy, biological sealing and occlusal caries in enamel or enamel and dentin, carried out by academics and dental professionals
Journal Title: Stomatos - Year 2011, Vol 17, Issue 32
Abstract
This study proposed to analyze the difference and compare the diagnostic methods and clinical diagnosis associated with radiographic caries on the occlusal surfaces of 15 human posterior teeth, performed by 07 dentists and 14 dental students. The teeth were mounted in wax blocks, radiographed in a standardized manner and underwent clinical and radiographic evaluation of the occlusal surface, affirming or rejecting the presence of caries and its extension. Subsequently the teeth were bisected in the mesiodistal direction, and then analyzed to validate the macroscopic optical caries and its extension when present. The data analysis by test student-Neuwman-Keuls showed no statistical difference between the methods used when radiographic examination contributed little to the detection of occlusal caries. The hit rate for both professionals and for academics was higher in the clinical examination and radiographic diagnoses of divergence were reasonable.
