OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate observers' ability to detect simulated root resorption cavities in conventional radiographs and digital radiographs from a charge-coupled device system and a storage phosphor system and to determine whether the detectability was influenced by resorption size and exposure. METHODS In teeth from dry mandibular jaw specimens, resorptive defects 1.2 mm in diameter and two different depths (0.6 and 0.9 mm) were prepared in the buccal root surface. Each tooth was radiographed at a number of different exposure settings. Observers were asked to rate their confidence that a resorption was or was not present using a five-graded confidence scale. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to evaluate the results. CONCLUSIONS Given optimal exposures, all systems reached what might be considered clinically acceptable Az values (> 0.75). The storage phosphor system reached this value at considerably lower exposures than those required for both the film and charge-coupled device systems. There was a tendency to better detect the deeper lesions and to identify them at lower exposures.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008334	Mandible	The largest and strongest bone of the FACE constituting the lower jaw. It supports the lower teeth.	Mylohyoid Groove,Mylohyoid Ridge,Groove, Mylohyoid,Grooves, Mylohyoid,Mandibles,Mylohyoid Grooves,Mylohyoid Ridges,Ridge, Mylohyoid,Ridges, Mylohyoid
D011829	Radiation Dosage	The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

D012372	ROC Curve	A graphic means for assessing the ability of a screening test to discriminate between healthy and diseased persons; may also be used in other studies, e.g., distinguishing stimuli responses as to a faint stimuli or nonstimuli.

D012391	Root Resorption	Resorption in which cementum or dentin is lost from the root of a tooth owing to cementoclastic or osteoclastic activity in conditions such as trauma of occlusion or neoplasms. (Dorland, 27th ed)	Resorption, Root,Resorptions, Root,Root Resorptions
D014092	Tooth Root	The part of a tooth from the neck to the apex, embedded in the alveolar process and covered with cementum. A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots.

D015588	Observer Variation	The failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. Sources for this may be due to the observer's missing an abnormality, or to faulty technique resulting in incorrect test measurement, or to misinterpretation of the data. Two varieties are inter-observer variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intra-observer variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material).
