Background and Aim: To compare the radiographic distance from the inferior part of mandibular second and third molars to the superior border of mandibular canal on radiographs obtained by conventional periapical radiographs, intraoral photostimulable phosphor plate (Intraoral PSP) and panoramic photostimulable phosphor plate (Panoramic PSP). Subjects and Methods: The study was carried out on 25...

background and aim: clinical and radiographic diagnoses of dental root fractures have always been difficult and require high accuracy in dental care and treatment. the aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of intraoral digital radiography (psp) and cbct in the detection of horizontal root fracture (hrf) and vertical root fracture (vrf). materials and methods: for this experim...

AIM To investigate the quality of periapical radiographic images produced by two digital dental radiography systems, a charge-coupled device (CCD) and a photostimulable phosphor (PSP) image plate system, and to examine the overall radiation exposure when using these systems in a clinical setting. METHODOLOGY Patients were randomly allocated to both systems and the resultant radiographs rated ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare cone beam CT (CBCT) in a small field of view (FOV) with a solid-state sensor and a photostimulable phosphor plate system for detection of cavitated approximal surfaces. METHODS 257 non-filled approximal surfaces from human permanent premolars and molars were recorded by two intraoral digital receptors, a storage phosphor plate (Digora Optime, So...
