The effect of bitewing radiography on estimates of dental caries experience among children differs according to their disease experience
BMC Oral Health Aug 15, 2018
Page LAF, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers investigated the relative contributions of bitewing radiography and clinical examination in the detection of dental caries in primary molars. They also investigated if those contributions varied by caries experience. They analyzed examinations undertaken in dental clinics. They found that challenges or risks associated with taking bitewing radiographs in young children must be taken into account while undertaking it. For children with greater caries experience, bitewing radiographs offered greater diagnostic yields. To enhance the management of lesions not detected by a simple visual examination alone in young children, using bitewing radiographs is needed to be considered.
