Background: Most studies assessing the sensitivity and specificity of caries detection methods have been performed in vitro using the histological method as the gold standard showing inconsistent values. The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity in detecting occlusal caries using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS II) with the radiographic method (RM), while using the Spectra™ Caries Detection System (SCDS) as the reference test.
Methods: One hundred sixty children, ages 7-12 years, participated in the study.

The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to report a 12- to 54-month follow-up, in which a resin-based composite filling material was used in direct contact with a fast-setting zinc oxide eugenol cement to restore the function and anatomy of 51 pulpotomized primary molars in 2- to 11-year-old children who needed a Class I or II restoration. Formocresol pulpotomy using Temrex cement was performed in all cases. The total-etch technique was used with: (1) 35% phosphoric acid; (2) OptiBond Solo Plus bonding agent; and (3) Filtek P60/shade B2 resin-based composite material.

Methods: Forty extracted teeth were randomly assigned into 4 groups: (1) group 1: 35% H2O2 + acetone; (2) group 2: H2O2 + ethanol; (3) group 3: acetone; (4) group 4: ethanol. All teeth were acid etched, bonding agents were applied, and a composite resin stub was bonded and stored again in saline for 24 hours.
