X-ray artifacts should not interfere with precise diagnosis! The 3D reconstruction created by Diagnocat shows tooth 43 (Universal 27), which will be discussed in this clinical case

Alternatively, let’s take a look at the tooth 17 (Universal 2) using 3D-Viewer. We can see radiolucency of enamel and dentin, which was correctly indicated as caries in the report. 3D-Viewer is a tool with an interactive coordinate system that allows you to visualize the area of interest simultaneously from three planes: axial, bucco-lingual and mesio-distal.
