introdouction: the purpose of the present study was to determine the possible relationship between gonial angle size and three mandibular morphometric parameters, namely, panoramic mandibular index (pmi), mandibular cortical width (mcw), and antegonial notch depth (ad), in digital panoramic radiographs. materials and methods: pmi, mcw, and ad were calculated in digital panoramic radiographs of ...

objective: after introduction of digital radiography into dentistry several methods of image acquisition were accessible in the field of dentistry. in many instances it is necessary to digitize analog images. there is no overall acceptable method for image digitization so all different types of images can be comparable. the objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of diffe...

abstract background and aim: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) produces high-quality data in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. the aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of cbct with intraoral digital and conventional radiography in the measurement of periodontal bone defects.  methods and materials: in this diagnostic research, two hundred and eighteen artificial osseous ...

successful endodontic therapy depends on adequate mechanical and chemical debridement of the canal which requires knowledge of the canal morphology. conventional radiography has been used to evaluate the canal type; however, direct digital radiography has recently been practiced for this purpose due to the shortcomings of conventional radiography. the aim of the present study was to compare the...

introdouction: canal length measurement is essential for proper endodontic treatment. any error or miscalculation in working length determination, particularly in curved canals, can result in complications during or after root canal therapy. digital radiography has enabled accurate measurement of curved canal length. in this study, we evaluated the accuracy of calibration of a complementary met...

introduction: external root resorption is a clinical problem that often cannot be detected clinically. thus, radiography plays a crucial role in its diagnosis. however, optimal radiographic quality with minimal radiation exposure {2.1 [en] verify english word/phrase choice} is an important factor in selecting the appropriate radiographic technique. the aim of this study was the comparison of ac...

introduction: inappropriate condensation of gutta-percha or improper use of sealer can lead to voids in root canal filling material and consequent failure of the treatment. timely detection of voids within root canal filling may prevent complications. in this study, we compared the accuracy of digital and conventional radiograph for detecting voids within root canal fillings . materials & metho...

introduction: external root resorption (err) is associated with physiological and pathological dissolution of mineralized tissues by clastic cells and radiography is one of the most important methods in its diagnosis. the aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional intraoral radiography (cr) in comparison with digital radiographic techniques, i.e. charge-coupled ...

introduction: although proximal dental caries are very common, clinical examinations cannot detect them all. panoramic radiography has been widely used in dentistry for both diagnosis and screening. this study aimed to investigate and compare the efficacy of two digital panoramic radiography techniques in the diagnosis of proximal caries. methods: a total number of 60 patients referred to a den...

Dental radiography is an essential component in the delivery of high-quality dental care for dogs and cats. During the 1980s veterinarians began taking radiographs of teeth using standard radiographic units; however, these units made patient positioning difficult and often resulted in suboptimal films. In the 1990s dental radiographic units became a more common part of the veterinary dental dia...
