Methods: The method was prospective cross sectional study that was conducted on 69 adult patients attending IIUM Dental Clinic. For each patient, clinical charting was done first without using radiograph by using double blind technique. After that bitewing radiograph were taken. The radiograph was viewed from the computer and was assessed for any radiolucency below the contact point either at mesial or distal part of the tooth.
