, and their team pave the way for comprehensive and detailed diagnosis of several dental abnormalities and pathologies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAn overview of digital X-rays<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nA digital X-ray, or digital radiograph, is an advanced form of X-ray that uses electronic sensors instead of photographic film, as with a traditional X-ray. The captured image is converted to digital data immediately and is available for review within seconds.<\/span><\/p>\nUnderstanding the science behind digital X-rays\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
This is how the digital X-rays work:<\/strong><\/p>\n\nThe digital X-rays differ from the traditional method due to the advanced digital technology used.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nA series of radiation beams with different wavelengths have the ability to penetrate through several layers of the body.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nThis forms an image on a photographic film using digital sensors.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nThese sensors usually come in the form of active matrix flat panels made up of a detection layer over an active matrix array of thin film transistors and photodiodes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nThese sensors can successfully convert the image into digital form in real time. This allows the dentist to view the results on a computer screen immediately.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nIndications for digital X-rays<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDigital X-rays act as preventive and diagnostic tools that provide valuable information that is not visible to the naked eye during routine dental exams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDigital X-rays can help:<\/strong><\/p>\n\nStudy the tooth and root morphology<\/span><\/li>\nDetect problems inside a tooth or below the gumline<\/span><\/li>\nEvaluate the bone loss<\/span><\/li>\nIdentify abscesses, cysts, and tumors<\/span><\/li>\nDiagnose benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) lesions<\/span><\/li>\nDetect interdental tooth decay<\/span><\/li>\nDiagnose any developmental anomaly<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nThese X-rays greatly help save you time, money, and extensive dental procedures through early diagnosis of dental problems.<\/span><\/p>\nPotential benefits of digital X-rays<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nDigital X-rays are the most preferred types of radiographs due to the following benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n\nProduce very high-quality images\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nRadiation exposure can be adjusted to real-time\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nThe results can be viewed immediately\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\nReduced exposure to radiation<\/span><\/li>\nA lot of time and effort is saved<\/span><\/li>\nThe use of chemicals for developing the film is avoided\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nConclusion<\/b><\/p>\n
