摘要:
Approximal surfaces of 13 extracted molar and premolar teeth were classified directly and radiographically as sound or decayed. Eleven faculty dentists examined bitewing radiographs of the teeth and responded on a 5-point certainty scale, whether caries was present. Ten other faculty dentists used a computer-based program to examine the radiographs. For sensitivity, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and interexaminer agreement (Kappa), the computer-assisted faculty was significantly (p < 0.05) superior or equal to the unassisted faculty group.
