Digital radiography is a form of X-ray imaging where digital X-ray sensors (digital image capture device) are used instead of traditional photographic film. Imaging is needed in dental applications to capture a patient’s dentition and oral anatomy prior to tooth repair procedures, implant placements, and oral surgeries. Since imaging is a common practice in dental offices, there are several advantages to using digital radiography rather than photographic methods. One of the greatest benefits is the reduction in the amount of radiation required to produce the needed image. Past radiography processes have exposed patients to higher levels of radiation to produce the same image that can now be created with less exposure. In addition, digital radiography is a more time efficient method as it doesn’t require the chemical processing needed in traditional imaging procedures. Finally, since the images themselves are captured digitally, it is faster and easier to digitally transfer and enhance the final images.
