  1. Unit 6 Radiographic Interpretation of Dental Caries

  2. Severity of Caries • Early, incipient (1st degree) • Moderate (2nd degree) • Advanced (3rd degree) • Extensive (4th degree)

  3. Caries Progression

  4. Location of Caries • Occlusal, incisal • Proximal • Lingual, palatal • Facial • Cemental • Recurrent

  5. Incipient Caries

  6. Occlusal Caries

  7. Occlusal Caries

  8. Proximal Caries

  9. Proximal Caries

  10. Proximal Caries

  11. Cemental Caries

  12. Recurrent Caries • Caries immediately next to a restoration • Inadequate margins or excavation • Pulpal necrosis • Metallic restorations often hide • Clinical examination

  13. Recurrent Caries

  14. Recurrent Caries

  15. Caries: Xerostomia • Therapeutic radiation • Xerostomia • Sjogren’s syndrome • Caries begins at cervical region • Extensive decay

  16. Adumbration (Cervical Burnout)

  17. Occlusal Caries

  18. Adumbration

  19. Adumbration • Between CEJ and alveolar crest • Diffuse radiolucency • Ill-defined borders • Presence of the edge of root • Clinical evaluation

  20. Adumbration

  21. Rampant Caries • Children • Poor dietary habits • Extensive caries • Proximal and smooth surface • Socio-economic factors

  22. Rampant Caries

  23. Rampant Caries

  24. Factors In Caries Diagnosis • Location of the tooth • Surface involved • Size of the carious lesion • Restoration, material • X-ray beam angulation • Film placement

  25. Factors In Caries Diagnosis • Film type • Developer solution – age • kVp • mAs • Room lighting • Observer
