Objective: Various systems for intraoral digital radiography have been <strong>available</strong> <strong>as</strong> an alternative<br />
to film–b<strong>as</strong>ed radiography. In consideration of several advantages of digital radiography<br />
such <strong>as</strong> less paitient absorbed dose, manipulation of image quality and elimination of processing,<br />
the purpose of this study w<strong>as</strong> comparison of conventional film and digital radiography in<br />
the proximal caries diagnosis.<br />
Method: In this study, 40 extracted premolar teeth were selected and mounted in acrylic<br />
blocks. The teeth were radiographed using Fspeed film and digital sensor(COMS). Two observers<br />
evaluated interproximal surfaces for detection of presense and extent of caries. True caries<br />
depth w<strong>as</strong> determined by histological examination. The diagnosis accuracy of each radiographic<br />
system <strong>as</strong>sessed by means of receiver operating characteristic (Roc)curve analysis.<br />
Results: T<strong>here</strong> w<strong>as</strong> no significant differences between two imaging modalities. The AZ values<br />
in c<strong>as</strong>es without caries and dentinal caries were greater than caries in the level of enamel and<br />
DEJ. The differences among observers also were not statistically significant.<br />
Conclusion: Both imaging modalities were comparable in detection of approximal carious<br />
lesions.<br />
