Digital Dental Radiography: Maximize Your Training - Acquiring the unit is just the first step; make sure your staff knows the system inside and out

摘要

Digital dental radiography has become increasingly popular in the last few years, in both human and veterinary dentistry. There are several reasons for this, including substantial time savings, elimination of chemical use and disposal issues, decreased occupational radiation exposure, and the ability to manipulate and use images in the digital format. Digital files are easily printed, emailed and displayed, all of which can enhance the client's perception of value. When using a digital dental system, radiographs that are moderately overexposed or underexposed can be modified into clinically acceptable views, decreasing the number of repeat films. Substantial cost savings can be realized quickly.
