The diagnostic accuracy of digital subtraction radiography in detection of artificial recurrent caries lesions was assessed in this project. The use of digital subtraction radiography has been shown to markedly increase the accuracy of the detection of destruction in the periodontal bone, but the method has not been evaluated in secondary caries detection. Defects of three different sizes, simulating recurrent caries, were sequentially prepared in the interproximal cavity preparation margins of 28 teeth. Two composite restorative materials with different radiographic densities were used as posterior restorations, and a radiograph was obtained of each defect size and restorative material. The radiographs were digitized and subtracted from the reference images, and the conventional radiographs and the subtraction images were evaluated by seven observers. The data were analysed with ROC statistics. Subtraction radiography was found to be superior to conventional radiography in recurrent caries detection, mainly by reducing the false-positive diagnoses. The radiopacity of the restorative material had a significant effect on accuracy with conventional but not with subtraction radiography.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011856 Radiographic Image Enhancement Improvement in the quality of an x-ray image by use of an intensifying screen, tube, or filter and by optimum exposure techniques. Digital processing methods are often employed. Digital Radiography,Image Enhancement, Radiographic,Radiography, Digital,Enhancement, Radiographic Image,Enhancements, Radiographic Image,Image Enhancements, Radiographic,Radiographic Image Enhancements
D012008 Recurrence The return of a sign, symptom, or disease after a remission. Recrudescence,Relapse,Recrudescences,Recurrences,Relapses
D003731 Dental Caries Localized destruction of the tooth surface initiated by decalcification of the enamel followed by enzymatic lysis of organic structures and leading to cavity formation. If left unchecked, the cavity may penetrate the enamel and dentin and reach the pulp.

D003793 Dental Restoration, Permanent A restoration designed to remain in service for not less than 20 to 30 years, usually made of gold casting, cohesive gold, or amalgam.

D013382 Subtraction Technique Combination or superimposition of two images for demonstrating differences between them (e.g., radiograph with contrast vs. one without, radionuclide images using different radionuclides, radiograph vs. radionuclide image) and in the preparation of audiovisual materials (e.g., offsetting identical images, coloring of vessels in angiograms).

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
