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: the image quality as well as film speed is influenced by the film processing conditions. different combinations of films and processing methods affect the diagnostic accu-racy. temperature and developer exhaustion result in different image quality. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of film type and processing conditions on caries detec-tion.  material and met...

OBJECTIVES To survey the current radiographic prescriptions in dental implant assessment amongst dentists in Brazil. METHODS Sixty-nine dentists were interviewed during a dental implant meeting by two calibrated graduate students, using a 19-question questionnaire, considering imaging modality options both for pre-operative implant site assessment and for follow-up, particularly with respect ...

the aim of this case report was to present a case of multiple idiopathic apical root resorption which is a rare condition in a 17-year-old adult male. external root resorption of the permanent teeth is a multifactorial process. well-recognized causes of apical root resorption in permanent teeth include orthodontic therapy, trauma, periapical or periodontal inflammation, tumors, cysts, occlusal ...

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...

Background and aim: Methods of age estimation with the aid of radiography have higher accuracy compared with other methods. Some investigations have been performed in this regard, but the correlation between dental development and Body Mass Index (BMI) has been limitedly researched. In the present study, the correlation between dental development and BMI in the children referring to the dental ...

Aims & Objectives: To compare the fi ndings of Radiography and Computed Tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of vertical root fractures and to correlate our fi ndings post operatively. Material and Methods: We evaluated 22 cases of clinically suspected vertical root fractures those who were referred to us for Dental CT and compared fi ndings of Radiography and CT. Radiography was carried out in the...
