This article will explain what are the advantages of Digital Dental X-rays and the Dis-advantages of the traditional dental x-rays.
Digital Dental X-Rays - Benefits in Dentistry
Digital dental x-rays are becoming the standard of care in dentistry. There are many fine systems in use today by a variety of manufacturers. Digital dental radiography was introduced in Germany in 1995 by the Dexis Corporation and into the United States in 1997. All digital radiology systems consists of:
Digital dental x-rays reduces radiation exposure to the patient and dental staff.
Digital dental radiography can produce a high quality dental image with 60%-80% less exposure than traditional film dental x-rays. While traditional film x-rays have a very low exposure level ... this takes radiation exposure to a new level (very low).
Digital dental x-rays are friendly to the environment
Traditional dental x-rays use chemicals to develop and fix the image on to the film. These chemicals are not friendly to the environment. In addition, traditional film x-rays use silver halide to develop the image and a silver mixture in not released into the environment. Everyone benefits from this new technology.
Digital x-ray has been around dentistry for some ten years or so. The use of this imaging system benefits all dental patients.

- A digital sensor instead of film
- An image capture card (PCMCIA) or processing device.
- Dental software for image display
- Enhancement software
- Digital image storage capability
