Summary

The research question was that in patients with carious posterior permanent teeth, would the electrical impedance device be as valid as digital radiography in estimation of remaining dentin thickness? The proposed hypothesis was null.

Conditions

• Caries,Dental
• Deep Caries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	electrical impedance device,	The electrical resistance of the residual dentine underneath each measurement point was determined between an electrode and the crown pulp (Prepometer, Hager \& Werken, Duisburg, Germany). Assigning the electrical resistance of the dentin. high values are considered to represent more residual dentine than low values.
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Reference test: Digital Radiographic examination	A digital periapical radiograph using paralleling technique was taken
