ABSTRACT

Digital radiology has replaced traditional systems with the influence of technological developments and has provided a significant transformation in dentistry. This technology enables digital sensors to obtain, process and store images instantly. While it offers advantages such as lower radiation dose, fast imaging and digital archiving, it also brings with it some difficulties such as cost, infection control and adaptation process. The systems used are divided into two as direct and indirect digital imaging; while direct systems allow instantaneous image acquisition, indirect systems are based on transferring tradi tional films to digital media. Imaging systems such as CCD, CMOS and phosphor plates are frequently preferred in digital radiology. With the continuous development of technology, digital radiology is becoming more widespread in clinics and makes diagnostic processes more efficient and reliable. It is possible to foresee that systems where the disadvantages of these systems turn into advantages will also be developed in the future.
