abstract as uses of x-ray increases for diagnostic purposes, the necessity for dentists to have adequate knowledge about prescribing radiographs also increases. this will cause correct diagnosis and reduces the radiation to the patient. the aim of this cross sectional study was to evaluate the knowledge of dentists from isfahan about prescribing radiographs. for this research a question form wa...

Pulp calcifications stones are discrete calcifications within the pulps of teeth. They are a frequent finding on bitewing and periapical radiographs. Johnson and Bevelander stated that a single tooth may have stones ranging from 1 to 12 or even more, with sizes varying from minute particle to large masses that occlude the pulp space. They often develop in teeth that appear quite normal in other...

Purpose. The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of alveolar bone loss in Brazilian adolescents through the interproximal X-rays analysis. Methods. Bilateral and standardized interproximal (bitewing) X-rays were performed in 15-year-old adolescents (n = 326), and the processing of films and measurements of alveolar bone levels were accomplished by a single examiner. A distance betwee...

Pulp stones are a frequent finding on bitewing and periapical radiographs but receive relatively little attention in textbooks. A review of the literature was therefore performed, initially using the PubMed database and beginning the search with 'pulp calcifications' and 'pulp stones'. Each term provided more than 400 references, many of which related to pulp calcification in general rather tha...

Pulp stones are foci of calcification or discrete calcifications in the dental pulp. They are frequently found on bitewing and periapical radiographs, but their occurrence in entire dentition is unusual. We are reporting four cases in which the occurrence of pulp stones ranged from their presence in just primary teeth (Cases 1 and 2) to involvement of young permanent teeth also (Case 3) and eve...

Purpose: This study aims to examine the diagnostic performance of detecting pulp stones with a deep learning model on bite-wing radiographs. Material and Methods: 2203 radiographs were scanned retrospectively. 1745 marked 1269 CranioCatch labeling program (CranioCatch, Eskişehir, Turkey) in patients over 16 years old after consensus two experts Maxillofacial Radiologists. dataset was divided in...

 Review: The databases used for literature searching this were PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct. inclusion criteria original article, ...

OBJECTIVES To compare film, desktop monitor and laptop displays of digitized film images for accuracy of caries detection. METHODS Sixty-four extracted teeth were mounted in eight models and radiographed with E-speed bitewing film. Films were digitized and displayed on a desktop monitor and a laptop display. Six observers scored the presence or absence of enamel and dentinal caries for each p...
