Обзор
The goal of this observational study is to compare the diagnostic performance of three detection methods for approximal carious lesions in primary molars among pediatric patients aged 4-10 years. The study focuses on children in three age groups: 4-6 years, 6-8 years, and 8-10 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the curve (AUC) different across the three diagnostic techniques (bitewing radiography, near-infrared light transillumination, and their combination)? * Are these diagnostic parameters influenced by patient age? * Which technique yields the highest level of patient acceptance? Researchers will compare the three diagnostic approaches to determine whether age influences diagnostic performance and patient acceptance. Participants will: * Be examined using bitewing radiography and near-infrared light transillumination * Undergo tooth separation for 7 days using orthodontic elastic separators * Receive clinical examination of the target approximal surface * Be asked to rate their experience using the Simplified Facial Pain Scale (S-FPS)
Подробное описание
* 58 carious lesions classified as RA2 and RA3 according to the ICDAS II criteria from three groups of 4-6 years, 6-8 years, and 8-10 years pediatric patients will be examined by near-infrared light transillumination * The patient acceptance towards bitewing radiograph and near-infrared light transillumination will be evulated by Simplified Facial Pain Scale (S-FPS) * Diagnostic performance will be assessed by calculating sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and the area under the curve (AUC) * The diagnostic efficacy of the caries detection methods will be analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA, and patient acceptance will be assessed using the Chi-square test, with statistical significance set at p \< 0.05 and a 95% confidence level.
