OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of extra oral periapical radiography in obtaining root length by comparing it with the radiographs obtained from standard intraoral approach and extended distance intraoral approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS It was an in vitro, comparative study conducted at the dental clinics of Aga Khan University Hospital. ERC exemption was obtained for this work, ref numbe...

background and aim: clinical and radiographic diagnoses of dental root fractures have always been difficult and require high accuracy in dental care and treatment. the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of intraoral digital radiography (psp) and cbct in the detection of horizontal root fracture (hrf) and vertical root fracture (vrf). materials and methods: for this experim...

AIM To compare in an ex vivo model the ability of digital intraoral radiography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to detect simulated external inflammatory root resorption lesions, and to investigate the effect of altering the degree of rotation of the CBCT scanners X-ray source and imaging detector on the ability to detect the same lesions. METHODOLOGY Small and large simulated extern...

It is difficult to take intraoral radiographs in some patients who are intolerable to place the film in their mouth. For these patients, Newman and Friedman recommended a new technique of extraoral film placement. Here we report various cases that diagnostic imaging was performed in patients using the extraoral periapical technique. This technique was used to obtain the radiographs for the pati...

Background: The aim of this study was to measure and determine diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) of programs used at intraoral and dent panoramic examinations in Kosovo. Materials and Methods: To determine DRL, were performed measurements for dose area product (DAP) at intraoral and dental panoramic radiology systems. This study has covered over 47% of X-ray units, which are in use for intraor...

the past few decades, rapid changes have taken place in the fields of science and technology. Simultaneously , great progress has been made in research work on laser applications. Today, laser use ranges from simple applications such as recording prices of groceries to complex applications such as measuring distance to the moon and laser-guided warfare. 1 In the field of dentistry, the research...
