Abstract
Dental xeroradiography produces images of superior quality at approximately a third of the radiation dose of conventional intraoral film radiography. A prototype xeroradiographic system for intraoral use was evaluated for use in endodontic treatment by comparing similar X-ray projections of dental xeroradiographs and conventional film images among patients undergoing endodontic therapy. The xeroradiographs were judged superior for detecting periodontal ligament spaces, root apexes, details of the root canal system, pulp stones, metal instruments, and root canal filling materials. Furthermore, xeroradiographic image processing is both convenient and rapid as it requires only 20 seconds for the production of a dry, permanent image. Dental xeroradiography may aid in the practice of endodontics.
