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.

Discovery of the X-ray
Roentgenograph
The
image produced on photosensitive film.
Radiograph
Prefix
“radio” and suffix “graph” combined;
“radiograph” more commonly used.

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

Review: Chapter Summary
Digital imaging has many advantages
Basic techniques for acquiring images:
Bisecting
Paralleling
CBVT or CBCT produce 2D and 3D images for
dental diagnosis; will be the main modalities for
dental imaging in the future.

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.
