Impact of visual inspection and radiographs for caries detection in children through a 2-year randomized clinical trial: The Caries Detection in Children-1 study.

CONCLUSIONS: Simultaneous use of VIS and RAD for caries diagnosis in primary molars of children who seek dental treatment does not provide additional benefits compared with VIS alone. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Dentists should perform VIS only, not RAD, for detecting carious lesions in preschool-aged children. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02078453. PMID: 32450979 [PubMed - in process]
