OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the diagnostic efficiency of a digital radiographic system (RadioVisioGraphy -RVG-) in combination with a diagnostic assisting program (Logicon) with RVG in basic mode, magnification and conventional radiography (Kodak). STUDY DESIGN A study was made of 384 proximal surfaces corresponding to 192 posterior teeth. The diagnostic techniques employed comprised Ko...

X‐rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen. Digital radiology has overtaken conventional screen‐film radiography since it was introduced in the mid‐1980s.[1] Digital imaging uses sensor of solid‐state, and information is presented and stored as an image using a computer. The dawn of the digital era in dental radiography came in 1987 with the first digital radiography system called radio...

background: for planning in health,preventing and representing valuable dentistry services, we need to identify and evaluate the information on the status of individuals' dental hygiene and health. in this examination, evaluating dental health which is one of hygienic main and key problems has been conducted according to world's standards in correction center of tehran province in 200...

Objective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of operating microscope compared with unaided visual examination, conventional and digital intraoral radiography for proximal caries detection. Materialsand Methods. The study was based on 48 extracted human posterior permanent teeth. The teeth were examined with unaided visual examination, operating microscope, conventional bi...

  Objective: Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. After pit and fissures, enamel of proximal surface is the second region prone to rot. Bitewing images are one of the most important diagnostic tools for the detection of caries . Given the importance of accurate and timely detection of decay , the current study was aimed to evaluate the ability and skill of the fi...

to report the association of pulp calcification with that of cardiovascular disease (cvd) using digital panoramic dental radiographs.digital panoramic radiographs of patients referred from the angiography department were included if the patient was under 55 years old and had non-restored or minimally restored molars and canines. an oral and maxillofacial radiologist evaluated the images for pul...

Background: Analog radiography has been replaced with digital radiography for canine diagnostic imaging in many veterinary clinics. There is no data comparing these modalities in a veterinary clinical setting to detect bronchial pattern signs in dogs. Objectives: In this study, computerized digital radiography (CR) and analog radiography were compared for diagnosis of bronchial pattern in dogs....

Introduction: One of the most commonly used radiography methods for the diagnosis of oral and dental diseases is the panoramic radiography technique. This technique is widely used due to ease of implementation, extensive coverage, time and cost savings. Dental radiography, as a routine and appropriate test, accounts for about 33% of the total radiographic examination. However, ...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the reverse contrast mode in intraoral digital radiography for the detection of proximal dentinal caries, in comparison with the original digital radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty extracted premolars with no clinically apparent caries were selected, and digital radiographs of them were taken separately in standard conditions. Fou...
