Group 2: including scores 1 and 2.
Sensitivity and specificity calculated by taking the ICDAS-II as a gold standard.
Sensitivity measured the proportion of actual caries lesions which are correctly diagnosed by SOPROLIFE regarding ICADS-II.
Specificity measured the proportion of noncarious lesions which are correctly diagnosed by SOPROLIFE regarding ICADS-II.
