Abstract
The application of digital panoramic radiography with photostimulable phosphors to dental diagnosis was evaluated in 500 patients. Comparative intraoral films of selected groups of teeth and electronic magnifications of the same portion of the arches were obtained in 63 cases. Digital images improved the quality of dental examinations compared with film radiographs. The possibility of contrast modulation was helpful to compensate for the different radiographic densities of the arches and to improve the visibility of gingival soft tissues. In addition, digital radiography reduced the radiation dose administered to the patient. The use of digital panoramic radiography is proposed as a substitute for film studies in all hospitals where a central unit for digital radiology is available.
