Abstract
Caries detection methods are usually evaluated regarding their validity compared to a gold standard. We demonstrate that the cost-effectiveness stemming from using different detection methods additionally depends on the treatment options determined by different methods, and the examined population. Dentists' choice of a detection method should not only be guided by its validity, but also by its specific benefits in different populations.
