BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) unit with digital intraoral radiography technique for detecting periodontal defects. METHODS The study material comprised 12 dry skulls with maxilla and mandible. Artificial defects (dehiscence, tunnel, and fenestration) were created on anterior, premolar and molar teeth separately using bur...

The purpose of this study was to compare the internal gap between CAD/CAM palladium-silver crowns and cast gold crowns generated from intraoral digital versus conventional impressions and to determine the clinical acceptability. Nickel-chrome master dies were made from the prepared resin tooth with the conventional impression method (n = 40). For ICC (Intraoral, CAD/CAM) group, 10 intraoral dig...

Background and Aim: Considering the importance of detection of secondary caries, the adverse consequences of false positive and false negative diagnoses and the gap of information in the diagnostic efficacy of digital sensors in detection of secondary caries, this in vitro study sought to compare the diagnostic efficacy of two different resolutions of radiographs obtained by photostimulable pho...

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...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether computed tomography (CT) and intraoral radiography are interchangeable for detecting signs of periodontitis and endodontic disease in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS An agreement study was performed using 40 dogs that previously underwent intraoral radiography and CT during the same anesthetic episode. Images of each tooth were examined by two blinded observers for ...

INTRODUCTION The objective of the work was to assess the suitability of digital radiography with the option of tomosynthesis for the purpose of mineralization of bone, grafted to the alveolar cleft fissure. Moreover the assessment of the influence of the patients age on the operation date on the transplanted bone mineralization degree was carried out. Furthermore, an attempt to compare the dens...
