RESEARCH

The efficacy of caries detection using three intraoral films under different processing conditions



JB Ludlow, E Platin, EO Delano, and L Clifton
Diagnostic Services Department, University of North Carolina School of Dentistry, Chapel Hill 27599-7450, USA.

This study compares the diagnostic accuracy of caries detection using Ultra-speed (Eastman Kodak), Ektaspeed (Eastman Kodak) and Ektaspeed Plus (Eastman Kodak) films after they were developed in both new and used processing solutions. Ektaspeed Plus film provided significantly better diagnostic accuracy for small proximal-surface caries limited to the outer third of the dentin than did Ektaspeed film. Ektaspeed Plus film did not differ significantly from Ultra-speed film in aiding in the diagnosis of small carious lesions, and it maintained diagnostic accuracy in used processing solutions. Dentists can offer the X-ray dose-reducing technology of Ektaspeed Plus film to their patients and maintain consistently high diagnostic quality.
