Introduction


Dental radiographs are images or pictures
produced by x-rays, remain the basis for many
diagnostic procedures and play an essential role in
oral health care.
Radiography is the making of radiographs by
exposing an image receptor, either film or digital
sensor.

Introduction


The purpose of dental radiography is to provide
the oral health care team with radiographs of the
best possible diagnostic quality.
The goal of dental radiography is to obtain the
highest quality radiographs while maintaining the
lowest possible radiation exposure risk for the
patient.

Discovery of the X-ray

Oral radiology
 Study
of x-rays and techniques used to produce
radiographic images.
Professor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered xrays (1895)

X-ray
 Initially,

“x” represented the unknown
Roentgen ray
 Named
in honor of Roentgen’s findings.

Dental X-ray Machines





Early x-ray machines an electrical hazard
Shockproof dental x-ray machine introduced by
Coolidge and General Electric
Pointed cone replaced
Position indicating device (PID)
Panoramic radiography became popular in 1960’s.

Dental X-ray Machines


Tomography scan
Computed tomography scan (CT)
 Imaging
a single selected plane of tissues; delivers high
dosage of radiation

Cone beam volumetric imaging (CBVI) and cone
beam computed tomography
 Contain
lower doses of radiation

Dental X-ray Film



Early dental x-ray film packets: glass photographic
plates wrapped in black paper and rubber dam
and exposure time was 25 min
Machine-wrapped dental x-ray film packet first
available in 1919 from Kodak.
Emulsion coating: one sided coating required long
exposure times; both sides coated now; exposure
times much shorter.

Digital Image Receptors


Digital imaging systems replace film as the image
receptor with a sensor.
Frances Mouyen — Introduced digital radiography
in 1987, called RadioVisioGraphy

Digital Image Receptors

Image sensors today have improved in overall
quality:
 Reduction
in radiation dosage
 Elimination in film and processing chemistry
 Elimination of film package disposal

Reflect: Case Study

Your patient today tells you that she recently
watched a television documentary on the dangers
of excess radiation exposure. Based on your
reading in this chapter, develop a brief
conversation between you and this patient
explaining how historical developments have
increased dental radiation safety, in order to put
the patient at ease.
