Purpose

Dental radiographic units are used for imaging den-tition, individual tooth anatomy (i.e., crown, neck,root), and dental problems (e.g., caries) in adult andpediatric patients, as well as for orthodontic planningand assessment. Depending on the type of unit, threetypes of imaging can be performed: intraoral, pano-ramic, and cephalometric radiography.

Intraoral radiography requires the dental film to beplaced inside the patient’s mouth for bitewing, periapi-cal, and occlusal imaging. Bitewing radiographs,which show the crowns and upper third of the roots ofboth upper and lower teeth, are made by using a dentalfilm packet with a tab that holds the film in place whenthe patient bites down on the tab. In periapical radi-ography, the full tooth structure, including the entireroot, is imaged on one film, and the mandibular andmaxillary jaws are imaged on separate films. Occlusalradiographs show the masticating surface of the pre-molars and molars. In panoramic radiography, imagesof the maxillofacial region are acquired using a rotat-ing x-ray beam and an external film cassette; thedental arch is then depicted in a single image as a fixedelliptical shape. In addition to providing localized ra-diographs of tooth structure, panoramic units are usedfor imaging the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), themaxillary sinuses, and the facial skeleton to aid in

diagnosing TMJ disorders, facial trauma, and sinuspathology. Cephalometric, or skull-view, radiographyis used to obtain images of the complete skull or aregion of interest from various angles. Cephalometricstudies are used to assess growth and to determineorthodontic or prosthetic treatment plans.

Some panoramic and cephalometric units can per-form cross-sectional tomography to produce multilay-ered transverse images of the maxillary andmandibular jaws. This technique, previously possibleonly by using computed tomography (CT) or plane-filmtomography (see the Product Comparisons titled SCAN-NERS, COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY, FULL-BODY andRADIOGRAPHIC/TOMOGRAPHIC TABLE SYSTEMS), isuseful for implantation planning as well as presurgicaland postoperative assessment of patients.

Digital dental radiography systems, also called digi-tal dental imaging systems, are used to produce com-puter-generated images as an alternative or inaddition to traditional dental x-ray films. Direct digitaldental imaging and image processing allow real-timedisplay of multiple images, reduce radiation exposuretimes, and eliminate the waiting time associated withx-ray film developing. Digital dental imaging can beused for endodontics, implantation planning and

evaluation, and other dental procedures that requiremultiple images.

Principles of operationDental radiographic units

Intraoral, panoramic, and cephalometric dental ra-diographic units consist of an x-ray generator and x-raytube, a collimator, an exposure timer, patient-position-ing features, and a control panel. The configuration ofthese components depends on the type of radiographyperformed and the type of x-ray generator used.

The x-ray generator modifies incoming voltage andcurrent to provide the x-ray tube with the power neededto produce an x-ray beam of the desired peak kilovol-tage (kVp) and current (measured in milliamperes[mA]) for dental radiographic examinations. The kilo-voltage (also referred to as the tube potential) for vari-ous dental x-ray systems can range from 50 to 110 kV,and the tube current can range from 1 to 20 mA,depending on the model. Some units offer a fixed setting(e.g., 70 kV, 10 mA), and others offer a range of select-able kV and mA settings (e.g., 57 to 85 kV, 5 to 10 mA).

X-ray generators are classified according to theirwaveform — the variation of the tube potential overtime. Dental x-ray generators are usually half-wave,self-rectified alternating current (AC) generators, butsome manufacturers now offer high-frequency or mul-tipulse generators and constant-potential or directcurrent (DC) generators. With AC generators, the tubepotential varies from zero to the peak kilovoltage andback to zero with each pulse of the AC. The x-ray tubeacts as a rectifier by blocking current flow away fromthe target during the negative half of the AC cycle;therefore, only one-half of each electrical cycle is usedto produce x-rays. With high-frequency or multipulse

generators, full-wave rectification and a higher oper-ating frequency reduce voltage ripple to less than 1%.With DC generators, the tube potential is maintainedat a constant kilovoltage, and the waveform output isvirtually ripple-free. Ripple, expressed as a percentageof the maximum voltage, is the difference between theminimum and maximum x-ray voltages, or the voltagevariation across the x-ray tube. X-ray generators witha lower ripple have a greater x-ray output and are,therefore, more efficient. (For more information onx-ray generators and their operation, see the ProductComparison titled X-RAY GENERATORS.) In units withconstant-potential and high-frequency generators, thex-ray generator is usually small enough to be inte-grated with the unit. A separate housing unit may berequired for larger AC generators.

Many dental radiographic units have microproces-sor-controlled x-ray generators, which automate cer-tain operations; for instance, fluctuations in the linevoltage can be monitored and automatically compen-sated for by the computer. In addition, microprocessor-controlled generators often have internalself-diagnostics, which cause an error message to ap-pear on the console if the generator malfunctions.

Most x-ray tubes used in dental radiography havestationary anodes with heat capacities ranging from7,000 to 50,000 heat units (HU); one unit designed fordentomaxillofacial tomography uses a rotating anodewith a heat capacity of 300,000 HU. The size of thefocal spot — the region of the target anode bombardedby electrons from which x-rays are produced — rangesfrom 0.3 mm in units with rotating anodes up to 1 mmin units with stationary anodes. A smaller focal spotsize produces an image with higher resolution; how-ever, in tubes with stationary anodes, the total outputand intensity of the x-ray tube must be restricted toprevent overheating the target. Because the electronsare not continuously bombarding the same region ofthe target in rotating anodes, smaller focal spot sizesare possible. For some imaging situations, the effectivefocal spot size can be made smaller by increasing thesource-to-image distance (SID). Depending on themodel, an SID range (often selectable) from approxi-mately 200 to 400 mm is available on intraoral units;one SID (e.g., 520 mm, 575 mm) is usually offered onpanoramic units. On models with both panoramic andcephalometric capabilities, a second SID of approxi-mately 1,600 mm is provided.

In intraoral units, the x-ray tube is located in acylindrical tubehead, which also contains a collimatorfor shaping the x-ray beam and reducing scatter radia-tion. With some models, another, longer beam-definingcone is available for increasing the SID. The tubehead

is usually mounted on an articulating arm positionedaccording to the view desired; the arm can be wallmounted, ceiling mounted, or attached to a floor-mounted or freestanding column base. In panoramicand cephalometric units, an external flat film cassetteand an x-ray tube with a slit collimator are configuredas a C-arm, with the patient’s head positioned betweenthe cassette and the x-ray tube. In panoramic radiog-raphy, the external cassette moves in conjunction withthe x-ray tube around the patient’s head, which is heldstationary by a headholder attached to the unit. Incephalometric radiography, the SID is increased, andthe patient’s head and the C-arm are maintained in aspecific position during x-ray exposure.

The patient-positioning system varies depending onthe type of unit. In intraoral units, a cylindrical posi-tion-indicating device, which also contains a beam-shaping collimator, is located on the x-ray tubeheadand serves as a guide when the operator aligns thex-ray beam, patient, and film during periapical, bitew-ing, and occlusal radiography. For intraoral bitewingradiography, plastic positioning devices that consist ofa film holder, a biteplate, and indicator rods or ringsmay be used to help the operator properly align thex-ray beam with the film. These devices are not cou-pled to the x-ray tubehead; some intraoral units havenonremovable or removable aiming/positioning filmholders coupled to the x-ray tubehead. In panoramicradiography, image quality depends on the exact posi-tioning of the patient; therefore, many panoramicunits have fully motorized or automatic systems withdual or triple light beam alignment. Headholders, chinrests, bite blocks, and/or nose supports are used tostabilize the patient’s head. In addition, some patient-positioning systems include a digital display of thefocal zone, as well as preprogrammed automatic move-ment to the imaging position.

The exposure timer controls the length of the x-rayexposure; typical exposure times are 0.01 to 4 secondsfor intraoral radiography, 0.1 to 5 seconds for cepha-lometric radiography, and 5 to 20 seconds for pano-ramic radiography. Some models have automaticexposure control for automatic termination of radia-tion exposure when the proper optical density has beenreached on the film cassette. A sensor on the reverseside of the cassette detects the amount of radiationreceived by the cassette and adjusts the exposureparameters according to the patient’s bone density.

Double-emulsion film with a backing of lead foil (toreduce patient radiation dose) is used for intraoralradiography. Intraoral film sizes are 31 × 41 mm forpremolars and molars and 22 × 35 mm for incisors andcanines. To image dentition fully, 14 to 22 radiographs

may be required. Panoramic and cephalometric radi-ography use single-emulsion screen films in sizes of12.5 × 30 cm, 15 × 30 cm, 13 × 18 cm, and 24 × 30 cm,depending on the views desired. Dental films can bedeveloped manually or by using an automatic proces-sor. Some manufacturers offer computerized film-marking systems for printing exposure parameters,chosen programs, patient identification, and other in-formation on panoramic and cephalometric films.

The control panel can be located on the unit itself,on a control console, or on a remote box. On some units,the control box is mounted on the unit and can beremoved for remote operation. Control panel featuresinclude analog or digital display of exposure parame-ters, touch control, help messages and error codes,parameter memory, self-diagnostics, and preprogram-ming. In microprocessor-controlled units capable ofpanoramic and cephalometric imaging, when thecephalometric mode is selected on the control panel,the computer will automatically move the C-arm intoposition and choose the appropriate collimator aper-ture. Some units also have motorized vertical move-ment to accommodate patients of different heights.

Special features available with some models includemagnification, film-size selection, programs for imag-ing specific areas (e.g., sinuses), cross-sectional to-mography, remote control, mobile configurations, andquality-assurance programs.

Digital dental imaging systems

Digital dental imaging systems, which allow imme-diate viewing of images without using dental x-rayfilm, consist of an intraoral sensor or imaging plate, anx-ray system, computer hardware and software forimage processing, and a hard-copy printer.

For image acquisition, an intraoral sensor or in-traoral imaging plates can be used, depending on themodel. In systems that use an intraoral sensor, whichis based on charge-coupled device (CCD) technology,the sensor is placed in the patient’s mouth duringimage acquisition; the sensor is electronically con-nected to the computer system. The CCD detectorconverts x-rays directly into electrical signals. Thesesignals are then sent to a computer system for process-ing. In other models, the sensor contains a rare-earthintensifying screen optically coupled to a CCD array.This array sends an analog signal to the display proc-essing unit, where the signal is converted pixel by pixelinto an image. The intraoral sensor is encapsulated indurable materials that protect the CCD electronicsfrom exposure to moisture (e.g., saliva, liquid disinfec-tants). Disposable polyethylene covers are provided forhygiene and infection control during examinations.

Some sensors can also be cold-sterilized by immersion.Depending on the model, disposable bite blocks may benecessary to correctly position the patient’s jaw duringperiapical and bitewing radiography.

Another type of digital dental imaging system usesimaging plates instead of an intraoral sensor. The thin,wireless imaging plates fit into the patient’s mouthlike conventional intraoral films and cover the samediagnostic area as films. After the exposure is made,the imaging plate is inserted into a laser scanner thatdigitizes the image for manipulation on the computerscreen. The imaging plates are reusable, and dispos-able plastic bags (to cover the plates during examina-tions) are provided to prevent contamination betweenpatients. Depending on the model, the digital dentalimaging system is usually compatible with the x-raysystem of a conventional intraoral dental radiographicunit, or an x-ray system may be provided with thedigital imaging system. One model does not require adirect electrical connection to an x-ray generator.

An IBM-compatible or Macintosh PC (personal com-puter) with appropriate software is used to manipulatethe image. Image-processing features include zoom,image rotation, edge enhancement, high-resolutioncolor, multi-image viewing, brightness and contrastadjustment, and measurement of distances and an-gles. Some systems also allow database management.Images can be saved and retrieved in standard fileformats, and hard copies can be printed using a stand-ard or video printer, eliminating the need for conven-tional x-ray film processing.

Reported problemsMost problems in dental radiography are not the

result of equipment failure. Film-processing systemswork best with a continuous and constant throughputof films, which is not the usual case with dentalradiography.

Errors in patient positioning when using uncoupledpositioning devices during bitewing radiography maylead to exposure errors, which require retakes, therebyincreasing patient radiation dose. Errors in aligningthe positioning device can affect the diagnosis of proxi-mal caries and the measurement of alveolar bone lossfrom bitewing radiographs.

Components of the dental radiography unit in contactwith the patient and the operator should be properlydisinfected using a disinfectant solution (e.g., sodiumhypochlorite) or covered with disposable plastic wrap.

Patient radiation exposure from dental radio-graphic units is minimal. Even though dental x-raysconstitute approximately 25% of all medical diagnostic



x-ray examinations worldwide, dental radiography ac-counts for only 1% to 2% of the global collective effec-tive dose equivalent. Effective dose equivalents perexposure vary depending on the type of radiographicunit and the imaging technique used; typical effectivedose equivalents range from 1 to 3.5 µSv for intraoralradiography and from 7 to 20 µSv for panoramic radi-ography. Patient radiation doses in panoramic radiog-raphy often depend on the programs selected. Duringa dental radiographic exam, unnecessary radiationexposure should be prevented — for instance, by usinglead aprons for patients and operators. In addition,imaging techniques that reduce radiation dose to thepatient (e.g., small field sizes) should be used when-ever possible. Digital dental imaging systems can sig-nificantly reduce radiation exposure because the CCDdetector is more sensitive to x-rays and requires lessexposure than film.

Even though scatter radiation around dental radio-graphic units is minimal, dentists and dental techni-cians should avoid chronic exposure to x-rays duringexaminations by following the manufacturer’s recom-mendations for radiation protection while operatingthe dental radiographic unit.

Purchase considerationsBefore purchasing a dental radiographic unit or

digital dental imaging system, buyers should deter-mine the number and type of procedures to be per-formed annually, as well as the types of patients to betreated. If skull-view radiography is to be performedfrequently, a panoramic unit with cephalometric im-aging capabilities should be considered. For facilitiesthat treat a variety of patients (e.g., adults, children,patients in wheelchairs), a unit that accommodatesboth seated and standing patients and that has motor-ized vertical height adjustment should be considered.For facilities that perform primarily routine dentalradiography, an intraoral unit should be considered. Adigital system may be useful if immediate image analy-ses for endodontics and implantation planning areperformed frequently.

Initial costs of digital systems range from approxi-mately $7,000 for intraoral sensor systems with soft-ware to more than $60,000 for panoramic systems thatinclude computers, software, and x-ray generators;however, reports indicate that costs are coming down.Additional ongoing costs associated with film-baseddental radiography for film and film processing, proc-essing chemicals and equipment, film storage, andrecord keeping can be considerable, depending on thenumber of patients treated, but can be circumventedby purchasing a digital radiography system.

Costs incurred in both film-based and digital radi-ography include plastic covers for equipment that con-tacts the patient as well as radiation protection/monitoring equipment for patients and staff.

Stage of developmentDevelopments in dental radiography have focused

on reducing patient radiation dose by using highertube potentials in conjunction with faster films, addedbeam filtration and new filter materials (e.g., nio-bium), and constant-potential x-ray generators.

The first digital dental imaging system was intro-duced in the late 1980s. Since then, research suggeststhat using a digital dental imaging system can reducepatient radiation dose as well as provide real-timeimage analysis and enhancement and allow computerstorage, retrieval, and transmission of images. Sensorperformance is being improved almost yearly (seeMondou et al. 1996). At least one system is now avail-able that uses a digital cassette for acquiring pano-ramic images that are displayed on a PC monitorduring x-ray exposure. The cassette can be used inter-changeably with film using compatible dental radiog-raphy models that have an appropriate PC-basedworkstation. The system requires an interface board,software, and an electronic drive. Clinical applicationsin root canal imaging, orthodontics, periodontal treat-ment, TMJ evaluation, and magnification of crownmargins, bridges, and inlays are still under develop-ment. Other digital techniques currently being studiedfor applications include digital subtraction radiogra-phy and tuned-aperture CT. One unit covered in thisreport is a dedicated dental CT scanner that is avail-able in Europe.
