Clinical Relevance Both Ultraspeed and RVG-6000 radiographs underestimated the true clinical extension of Class II caries lesions; however, the RVG-6000 was more accurate in estimating the axial extension of a lesion than Ultraspeed films. Placement of Ultraspeed film was more pleasant for the patient than the RVG-6000 size 2 sensor.
