RADIOLOGY
In radiovisiography, digital X-ray sensors replace traditional film, offering benefits like digital image uploading and enhanced quality without chemical processing. Digital radiography also eliminates film processing and provides instant image preview.
Radiovisiography (RVG) utilizes digital X-ray sensors rather than conventional film, offering advantages such as digital image uploading and improved quality without the need for chemical processing. Digital radiography similarly eliminates film processing, provides instant image preview, and allows for specific image processing techniques to enhance display quality.
Digital Imaging in Extraoral Space
Extraoral radiographs are used to identify dental issues in the skull and jaw. Extraoral x-rays come in several forms.
A single panoramic x-ray displays the whole mouth, including all of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. This x-ray can identify malignancies and determine the position of fully and partially emerged teeth. It can also show impacted teeth. Many treatments and additional imaging duties begin with a panoramic image.
Cephalometric projections display the head’s full side. This x-ray examines the teeth in relation to the patient’s jaw and profile. This x-ray is used by orthodontists to create a customized tooth realignment plan for each patient.

CLASSICAL X-RAYS INTRAORAL
These are the most typical kinds of radiographs. Intraoral x-rays come in several varieties. Each displays teeth in a unique way.
An portion of the mouth’s top and lower teeth can be seen in detail on bite-wing x-rays. Every bite-wing displays a tooth from the level of the supporting bone to its crown, or exposed surface. Bite-wing x-rays are used to identify bone abnormalities brought on by gum disease and tooth decay. Additionally useful in determining the ideal fit for crowns—caps that completely enclose teeth—and other restorations, including as bridges, are bite wing x-rays. Dental fillings can also be seen to show signs of wear and degradation.
Periapical x-rays display the entire tooth, including the area where the tooth joins to the root and the crown.
into the mandible. Every periapical x-ray displays every tooth in a single area of the upper or lower jaw. Any anomalous alterations in the root and neighboring bone structures are identified by periapical x-rays.
Occlusal x-rays monitor the growth and positioning of a whole dental arch in the upper or lower jaw.
