This study evaluated the intra-rater agreement of International Caries Assessment and Detection System (ICDAS) scores with Medit i500\u00ae and Omnicam\u00ae scanners versus traditional clinical examinations and the inter-rater agreement using the Omnicam\u00ae among senior dentists and dental students and between these two groups. Materials and Methods: A total of 24 patients aged between 21 and 34 years, randomly selected from dental students and interns, underwent four examinations (three intraoral scans and one clinical examination), and the corresponding ICDAS scores were recorded by a randomly selected rater out of the 31 available examiners. The examination team consisted of dental students, dentists with less than 3 years, and dentists with more than 5 years of clinical experience. The following inter- and intra-rater agreement tests for the ordinal data were chosen: Fleiss\u2019 kappa coefficient, Cohen\u2019s weighted kappa, and inter-class correlations. Results: For all examination techniques, there was statistically significant agreement for the experienced raters (p &lt; 0.05). The highest positive interclass correlation was obtained for inter-rater agreement tests of 288 observations recorded by senior dentists: ICC = 0.969 (95% CI 0.949\u20130.981). Conclusions: Intra-rater reliability was excellent for Omnicam compared to clinical exams conducted by senior dentists but moderate for Medit i500. Although inter-rater agreement using Omnicam was poor between students and between senior dentists and students, it was excellent among senior dentists.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59122157","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,13]],"date-time":"2023-12-13T04:14:42Z","timestamp":1702440882000},"page":"2157","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Caries Lesion Assessment Using 3D Virtual Models by Examiners with Different Degrees of Clinical Experience"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1097-4442","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioana","family":"Porumb (Chifor)","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 31 A Iancu Str., 400083 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"},{"name":"SC Chifor Meddent SRL, 9 Gh Doja Str., 400068 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4218-8622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel-Corneliu","family":"Leucuta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Informatics and Biostatistics, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 4 Pasteur Str., 400349 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marion","family":"Nigoghossian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dental Medicine, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Avram Iancu Str., No 31, 400083 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bogdan","family":"Culic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Propedeutics and Aesthetics Department, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 32 Clinicilor Str., 400006 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia Ondine","family":"Lucaciu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Health, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 15 Victor Babes Str., 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carina","family":"Culic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Odontology, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 33 Motilor Str., 400001 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7022-5104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iulia Clara","family":"Badea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 31 A Iancu Str., 400083 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexa-Nicole","family":"Leghezeu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dental Medicine, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Avram Iancu Str., No 31, 400083 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andra Gabriela","family":"Nicoara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Dental Medicine, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Avram Iancu Str., No 31, 400083 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7958-8991","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meda-Romana","family":"Simu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400083 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2023, November 01).
