What You’ll See
When hovering over a caries detection, Second Opinion displays an overlay showing the approximate depth of decay as it extends through enamel and dentin. This depth is expressed both visually and numerically, giving clinicians an objective way to assess and communicate findings.
Radiographic Depth Categories
Caries progression is represented using standardized categories aligned with ADA terminology:
Each category helps illustrate the stage of progression and supports more precise case discussions.
Percent Penetration (%)
Alongside the depth category, Second Opinion provides a penetration percentage — a quantitative estimate of how far the decay has progressed relative to the pulp. This metric allows clinicians to monitor changes in decay depth over time and communicate the extent of caries with objective data.
