introduction: radiography is one of the most important diagnostic methods for evaluation of dental caries. on the other hand, the least amount of radiation along with high quality is a main gold standard. the purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of primax, insight radiographic films, and direct digital images (schick cmos-aps), in detection of interproximal natural carie...

successful endodontic therapy depends on adequate mechanical and chemical debridement of the canal which requires knowledge of the canal morphology. conventional radiography has been used to evaluate the canal type; however, direct digital radiography has recently been practiced for this purpose due to the shortcomings of conventional radiography. the aim of the present study was to compare the...

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 im age quality and elimination of processing, it has been extensively used in different fields of denti stry in recent years. the purpose of this study wa...

introduction: radiation imaging is one of the applicable methods in diagnostic medicine and nondestructive testing for industrial applications. in nondestructive 3d imaging, in addition to the radiation source, there is a requirement for a suitable detection system, data acquisition system, mechanical sections for moving objects, reconstruction algorithm and finally a computer for processing an...

Objectives: An efficient, safe, affordable and easily accessible measuring instrument for quantitative assessment of bone prior to dental implant placement enables more accurate treatment planning. Costly imaging modalities are neither widely available, nor affordable for some patients. This study sought to assess the efficacy of a newly designed digital bone gauge for measurement of bone width...

Introduction: Dental caries is the most common chronic condition in children. Recently, there has been a growing tendency to using digital panoramic radiography among clinicians. The present study aimed to determine the accuracy of digital panoramic radiography with and without software enhancement in the diagnosis of proximal dental caries in primary molars. Methods: This study was conducted u...

objectives: new digital two-dimensional imaging systems are considered as an easily accessible modality for sinonasal evaluation. the aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of digital waters’ and caldwell’s radiographic views for evaluation of sinonasal area. materials and methods: a total of 273 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this descriptive-analy...
