Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Accuracy of detecting proximal caries between digital radiography and conventional radiography. It will be assessed after doing the histological examination, which will take a place after the teeth are extracted | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The correlation between tooth type and accuracy of detecting proximal caries. It will be done after having the histological assessment results | — |
