Efficacy of high-speed extraoral bitewing versus intraoral bitewing and panoramic for proximal caries in primary molars: A histological validation study.
Researchers compared four radiographic techniques for detecting proximal caries in primary molars against histological findings. High-speed extraoral bitewing radiography performed as well as standard intraoral bitewing for detecting caries in dentin, offering a potential alternative for children who cannot tolerate intraoral imaging.
