Aims: To evaluate the diagnostic abilities of near-infrared light transillumination (using the DIAGNOcam) and bitewing radiographs in detecting cavitated proximal carious lesions in primary molars. Subjects and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional analytical, clinical study. The proximal surface...
