Correlation between Clinical manifestations, radiographic findings, and operative diagnosis of pulpal status in primary molars in 4‒8-year-old children: A cross-sectional study

The findings of this study underscore the importance of integrating multiple diagnostic approaches for an accurate assessment of pulp condition. Radiographic diagnosis demonstrated the strongest reliability in assessing the pulp status. Additionally, moderate correlations between clinical, history-based, and radiographic diagnoses indicate the need for a combined diagnostic strategy approach to achieve higher accuracy and effective treatment planning.
