Dentists across the modern have shifted to digital imaging in place of conventional film based imaging.Digital radiography has gained more widespread acceptance due to the many advantages it offers over analog films.The only disadvantage of digital radiography is the high cost involved in equipment and staff training and the need for computer based clinical practice;anxiety in converting to digital technology.Digital radiography is available in several forms as plates or sensors, wireless or wired. Digital dental radiography has several practical advantages over film radiography, including:

  • Instant images produced that can help patients and dentists make quicker treatment decisions saving time and money.
  • The instant image display on a monitor with the ability to enhance the features and make direct measurements at chairside especially valuable in root canal treatments etc
  • Ability to store and share images online, providing access to the clinician through practice management software systems
  • The added advantage of back up availability any time and storing them on cloud computing.
