background and aims. the aim of the present study was to compare the effect of application of an image processing mode of a colorizer on the efficacy of the detection of interproximal carious lesions viewed in direct digital radiography. materials and methods. a total of 102 proximal surfaces of extracted human premolars on direct digital images were evaluated by three observers with and withou...

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...

objectives: the aims of this study were to test whether lightening of the overexposed radiographs improve determination of endodontic files length and whether lightened radiographs are comparable with ideally exposed radiographs. material and methods: four dried human skull coated with soft tissue-equivalent wax used for exposing radiographs of the upper molars. first, the endodontic file was p...

introdouction: the aim of the present study was to investigate image magnification in digital panoramic radiography and assess the effect of anatomical sites on the magnification in both males and females. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, digital panoramic radiographs of 48 patients with 202 implants were investigated. implant diameter and length were measured on panoramic ra...
