Treatment decisions from radiographs in deep caries
Doctor, when looking at a radiograph of deep caries, can we say definitively that root canal treatment or a filling is needed?
Translated version of the Turkish original
A radiograph alone is never sufficient for diagnosis; it must always be supported by the clinical findings. If we see an obvious lesion, however, we can diagnose the need for root canal treatment, although in some cases even this has exceptions.
