Accuracy of In Vitro Radiographs in Determining the Remaining Dentin Thickness below Deep Dentin Caries in Deciduous Molars

Abstract

Background/Aim: The determination of remaining dentin thickness (RDT) is quite critical in providing appropriate treatment indications especially in deciduous molars. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of in vitro pre-operative radiographs before caries removal in RDT measurement.
