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...

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....

background and aims. early diagnosis of external root resorption is important for accurate treatment. the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of a charge-coupled device (ccd) sensor and a photostimulable phosphor (psp) plate receptor in the diagnosis of artificial external root resorption. materials and methods. in this diagnostic in-vitro study, 40 maxillary incisors were mounted...

background identification of common technical errors during preparation of panoramic radiographs, how affect the quality and interpretation of the radiographs and the techniques used to deal with such errors, might help prevent unnecessary radiation to patients and save their time and money. objectives the current study aimed to identify common errors in the panoramic radiographs taken by post-...

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...

Background and Aim: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) produces high-quality data in periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of CBCT with intraoral digital and conventional radiography in the measurement of periodontal bone defects.  Methods and Materials: In this diagnostic research, two hundred and eighteen artificial osseous d...

results there was no significant differences between if and conventional mode regarding visibility of mic (p > 0.05). conclusion although using if caused improved visibility of mic, the difference with conventional mode was not statistically different. patients and methods in this cross-sectional study, 2580 digital panoramic images of 18 to 70-year-old patients were inspected for presence of m...

introduction: optimal radiopacity is one of the properties required for a root canal sealer that helps the distinction between the sealer and surrounding anatomic structures and evaluation of the quality of root filling. so, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiopacity of six root canal sealers at different focal distances. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, six endodon...

background and aims. radiography is used to diagnose the demineralization process and carious lesions; however, conventional radiography and direct digital images do not show these lesions when the amount of demineralization is less than 40%. digital subtraction radiography has recently been used to improve the diagnostic quality of these lesions. the purpose of this study was to compare the ca...
