The relationship between enamel and dentin calibrated-radiographic-density measured by cone beam computed tomography and dental caries status in young adults

The enamel radiographic density of incisors, measured by CBCT using a novel calibration tool, was correlated with dental caries status in young adults aged 20-25 years. Thus, this study provides deeper insight into the radiographic density of dental hard tissues as a determinant of dental caries. This factor is also measurable in a clinical setting.
