This work was carried out to examine the incidence of the most difficult- diagnosed caries process located in the area of the interproximal teeth contacts in the posterior teeth groups. The chewing teeth proximal contact surfaces survey, using visual-tactile clinical inspection, combined with the area between the teeth vital 2% solution of methylene blue coloring and interproximal radiography,that is one of the most informative and accessible methods in the diagnosis of posterior teeth contact surfaces caries (CSC). The posterior teeth CSC frequency occurrence was reviewed and statistically processed, depending on the surface localization (medial, distal, medial-distal), both in general and separately, according to the tooth type (molars and premolars) on the upper and lower jaws, on the right and the left sides. The posterior teeth proximal surfaces, being in contact with crowns and restorations on the contact surfaces, were also examineed and studied .Both the equally possible and the statistically significant, contact caries incidence differences, depending on the surface localization, were found out. The posterior teeth contact caries incidence was statistically identified according to the surface localization. Defined and statistically processed portion of the posterior teeth proximal surfaces caries, bordering with artificial restoration, was defined and statistically processed, allowing us to presupose caries development due to iatrogenic damage.
