An index and a score system for radiographical longitudinal studies of caries progression on proximal tooth surfaces are presented and compared with the DF-surface system. Generally, a good correlation between DF-surface differences and scores was found in a three-year study on teenagers. However, the score system seems to forward better means for a detailed study of the individual.
