Background: Considering the severity of COVID-19 outbreak and its rapid person-to-person transmission challenges it has brought about in dentistry, especially intraoral radiography, following established guidelines prescribing radiographs is great prominence. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate necessity prescribed estimate number unnecessary prescriptions during pandemic. Methods: This cross-sect...

PURPOSE In patients with atrophic mandibles, elevation of the floor of the mouth often prevents intraoral rectangular radiography for longitudinal follow-up studies, while extraoral techniques such as panoramic radiographs tend to produce distorted views of the interforaminal region. In this study, intraoral rectangular radiographs and panoramic radiographs were compared for their accuracy in e...

The use of X-ray in medicine demands to expose the patient and the professional to the lowest radiation doses available in agreement with ALARA philosophy. The reference level for intraoral dental radiography is 7 mGy and, in Mexico, a number of examinations of this type are performed annually. It is considered that approximately 25% of all the X-rays examinations carried out in our country cor...

Intraoral radiographs can be valuable aids in the diagnosis and management of equine dental disease. A step-by-step method is described for taking intraoral radiographs. Use of this process facilitates diagnosis and treatment of dental disease and makes it possible to make a prognosis.

BACKGROUND Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been largely used in dentistry. Nevertheless, there is lack of evidence regarding CBCT accuracy in the diagnosis of early periodontal lesions as well as the correlation between accuracy and lesion size. The aim of this study was to evaluate accuracy of CBCT and conventional intraoral radiographs in detecting different-sized interproximal bone ...

background radiographs play an integral role in the assessment of periodontal disease. in recent years, advent of digital imaging has revolutionized radiology in dentistry. patients and methods in this diagnostic accuracy study, 48 inter proximal surfaces were evaluated in eight patients. these patients had alveolar bone loss in anterior regions because of periodontitis. intraoral (parallel per...

Introduction: Various systems for intraoral digital radiography have been available as an alternative to film–based radiography. In consideration of several advantages of digital radiography such as less patient absorbed dose, manipulation of im‌age quality and elimination of processing, it has been extensively used in different fields of denti‌stry in recent years. The purpose of this study wa...
