background the first commercial system for digital radiography was introduced in 1987, and it has evolved a great deal since then. currently, it is possible to enhance images in digital radiography. objectives the aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of image enhancement in direct digital radiography as it relates to interproximal carries assessment. conclusions using these ...

objective: when none of digital systems and scanners is accessible and it is essential to have digitized images of conventional radiographs, digital cameras can be used. the aim of this study was to investigate whether digital images obtained by different resolutions of a digital camera are matched to the original radiographs in evaluation of caries. methods: in this diagnostic accuracy in vitr...

Background & Aims: Conventional radiography is used for the diagnosis of problems such as dental caries and failure in root canal therapy. The diagnosis accuracy of conventional radiography is acceptable in the evaluation of anatomical and pathological structures. However, it seems that by using digital radiography we can obtain more information in this field. The aim of this study is to compar...

background and aims. radiography is used to diagnose the demineralization process and carious lesions; however, conventional radiography and direct digital images do not show these lesions when the amount of demineralization is less than 40%. digital subtraction radiography has recently been used to improve the diagnostic quality of these lesions. the purpose of this study was to compare the ca...

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...

background identification of common technical errors during preparation of panoramic radiographs, how affect the quality and interpretation of the radiographs and the techniques used to deal with such errors, might help prevent unnecessary radiation to patients and save their time and money. objectives the current study aimed to identify common errors in the panoramic radiographs taken by post-...

Introduction: Dental caries is dramatically common among people. The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement of paper prints and film prints and monitor in detection of dentinal caries in digital panoramic radiography. Materials and methods: In this analytical study, radiographic images of 150 patients referred to a private clinic and who needed panoramic radiographs for various rea...

Secondary caries is the most common cause of dental restoration failures. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of conventional and digital intraoral radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for detection of recurrent caries around composite restorations. mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities were prepared using bur on 45 extracted sound human molar teeth. The teeth were...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the performance of direct digital radiography and traditional dental radiography for the detection of proximal surface dental caries in the mixed dentition. METHODS 15 quadrants of extracted teeth, arranged from the primary canine to permanent first molar, were imaged using direct digital (Schick Technologies, Long Island City, NY, USA) and convent...
