Proposed classification for
interproximal contacts of
primary molars using CBCT

In 2018, OXIS classification was put forth by Kirthiga, Muthu MS, and it has four categories - the O type, X type, I type, and S type.

OXIS Classification of Interproximal Contacts of Primary Molars and Its Prevalence in Three- to Four-Year-Olds

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of different interproximal contact areas of primary molars, as described in the OXIS classification, in a group of three- to four-year-old caries-free children.

OXIS Contacts as a Risk Factor for Approximal Caries

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the individual susceptibility of four different types of OXIS contact areas (open [O], point [X], straight [I], and curved [S]) to approximal caries in children.
