OBJECTIVES To explore the diagnostic values of digital intraoral radiography and cone beam CT (CBCT) in the determination of periodontal bone loss, infrabony craters and furcation involvements. METHODS Accuracy assessment of the imaging modalities was conducted through bone level measurements, infrabony crater and furcation involvement classifications. For CBCT, images were obtained at 120 kV...

BACKGROUND Methods for determining the root canal length of the primary tooth should yield accurate and reproducible results. In vitro studies show some limitations, which do not allow their findings to be directly transferred to a clinical situation. AIM To compare the accuracy of radiographic tooth length obtained from in vivo digital radiograph with that obtained from ex vivo digital radio...

AIM The purpose of this laboratory research was to compare the accuracy of digital and conventional bitewing radiographs in the diagnosis of recurrent caries under class II amalgam restorations. METHODS AND MATERIALS This study involved 82 posterior intact teeth in which class II amalgam boxes were prepared. Carious lesions were simulated in half of the proximal boxes in the intersection betw...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with different voxel sizes and intraoral digital radiography with photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate for detection of periapical (PA) bone lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this ex vivo diagnostic study, one-millimeter defects were created in the alveolar sockets of 15 bone blocks, each wi...

abstract background and aim: considering the widespread development of implants in dental treatment plans, linear measurements on panoramic radiography are of especial importance. in the present study we investigated the effect of head misalignment up to 15° around vertical and horizontal axes on the magnification rate of digital panoramic radiography in each part of upper and lower jaws. mater...

In private practice, success is ensured when one balances the art, science, and business of dentistry. Advanced technology continues to expand the capabilities of the contemporary dental practice, providing tools that allow clinicians to achieve greater efficiencies and productivity. Digital radiography, as one such tool, conveys benefits such as patient safety, rapid image capture, and many ot...

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...

Dentofacial growth and development is a complex phenomenon with great impact in the evaluation and treatment of the child. In order to understand individual growth and to elaborate precise diagnosis we need to develop reference values for the present population. For this we had to perform cross-sectional and mixed longitudinal studies on large samples of population over a period of three years....

Background: Analog radiography has been replaced with digital radiography for canine diagnostic imaging in many veterinary clinics. There is no data comparing these modalities in a veterinary clinical setting to detect bronchial pattern signs in dogs. Objectives: In this study, computerized digital radiography (CR) and analog radiography were compared for diagnosis of bronchial pattern in dogs....
