The aim of the study was to compare observer variations, observer strategy, and diagnostic quality with regard to radiographic caries diagnoses made at different depth levels. Qualitative assessment of approximal carious lesions on the basis of radiographs were made for sound (n = 28) and carious (n = 123) lesions by seven dentists. The inter- and intra-observer variations were lowest when lesions were diagnosed as being in the outermost parts of the teeth. The frequency of false positive scores was lower when dentin was examined as compared with enamel. The quality of radiographic diagnoses showed small variations (p greater than 0.05) when different levels of pulpal depths were interpreted.
本研究的目的是比较不同深度水平的放射龋诊断中观察者的差异、观察者策略和诊断质量。七名牙医根据X线片对28颗健康牙齿和123颗龋损牙齿的邻面龋损进行了定性评估。当病变被诊断为位于牙齿最外层时，观察者间和观察者内的差异最小。与釉质检查相比，检查牙本质时假阳性评分的频率较低。当对不同牙髓深度水平进行解读时，放射诊断质量的差异较小（p>0.05）。
