两位作者开发了一种基于计算机的软件系统，能够诊断近龋并做出有关恢复护理的决策。该系统与一组经验丰富的临床医生做出的决定进行了比较。结果表明，临床医生观察者总体上正确识别的表面数量与软件相似，但从观察者到观察者，正确识别的表面数量比软件用户正确识别的表面数量存在更大的差异。诸如此类的软件包有可能通过随着时间的推移提高治疗决策的一致性来提高整体准确性。
Two of the authors developed a computer-based software system that is capable of diagnosing approximal caries and making decisions about restorative care. The system was compared with decisions made by a group of experienced clinicians. The results indicate that the clinician viewers overall correctly identified a similar number of surfaces as the software, but from viewer to viewer, there was more variability in the number of surfaces identified correctly than in those identified correctly by the software users. Software packages such as this have the potential to raise overall accuracy by increasing the consistency of treatment decisions over time.
