Place of a new radiological index in predicting pulp exposure before intervention for deep carious lesions

ConclusionRDT/TDT ratio is potentially helpful in predicting pulp exposure. However, the measurement errors on RDT and TDT being non-negligible and the interrater agreements poor, there is still place for advances through development of an automated process that will improve reliability and reproducibility of pulp exposure risk assessment.Clinical trialTrial registration number.
