Abstract

Digital radiography has become increasingly accessible to dental practices, offering significant advantages over traditional film-based imaging. With the integration of advanced scanners and digital cameras, dental professionals can now capture high-resolution images that can be easily manipulated on a computer screen. This capability allows for the adjustment of image density, contrast, and magnification, thereby enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Moreover, digital images offer superior convenience in terms of storage and retrieval. They can be efficiently archived, shared, and utilized for patient education, specialist referrals, and communication through digital means. The ability to transfer digital files via disk or the Internet further streamlines workflow and collaboration. This paper explores the current applications of digital radiography in dentistry, highlighting its benefits in improving diagnostic precision, facilitating patient interaction, and optimizing practice efficiency.
