Digital radiography is an imaging technique that uses digital sensors instead of conventional X-Ray films. Chemical development process is not required to achieve the images. Because of images are prepared digitally, it helps to save time and images can easily be stored in digital environment. It also creates more accurate and high quality images with less radiation.
With help of digital panoramic imaging technology,dentist can see both upper and lower jaw bone including teeth, teeth root structure and their anatomical positions in one single image. This high resolution images help them to diagnose the evaluation of congenital or acquired diseases. But in the past, standard radiology techniques had lots of disadvantages like long image development processes, dangerous chemicals used in development and serious amount of lead which is used in X-Ray films and so on. Also the positive films were very fragile to store. But today, digital sensors took over the role of these old methods in both panoramic and periaprical imaging systems.
Digital images can be seen on computer screens, marked with desired color codes, be magnified in very high zoom levels or measured very easily with a few click of your mouse. This method reduces the radiation amount significantly on the patients too. Besides that, images can bi stored in computer environment with patient files or can be shared through internet when it is necessary. The images are never blur and sharpness and contrast of the image is 300% more. Especially blur images because of incorrect positioning or taken by anatomically insufficient devices makes very difficult to make accurate diagnosis.
As mentioned above, digital panoramic technology allows to see everything including jaw bones, teeth and gum in single image. It is a very supportive system to help the dentist to makes the diagnosis by showing the unseen parts of the mouth. For example initial caries detection is very easy even tooth enamel looks healthy or hidden behind the gum line, or, seeing which tooth is damaged because of the abscess, or, detecting the damage on the bone because of periodontal diseases, structural disorders of teeth, root fractures, cysts or tumors.
