Progressions of the initial enamel proximal caries were significantly different among primary molars at the average 18.3-month follow-up. The median survival period of the enamel proximal caries was more extended than that of dentine but without statistical difference. These results provide essential information for dentists regarding an appropriate appointment for bitewing examinations.
