“…Norwegian study reported lack of chemicals as most common reason, where as Brain et al reported time efficiency as most common reason. 7,20 Similarly, ease in working was reported by Svenson et al 3 All of these results agree with present study. Improved communication was most common reason for a study from New Zealand.…”

“…Usage of digital radiography was reported to be 98% among Swedish dentists. 3 Two Dutch studies reported a usage of 82% and 90% among dental paractiioners. 6,16 A study from New-Zealand reported a usage of 80% among its respondents.…”

“…Digital sensors of various types have become a part of mainstream dentistry. 3 Along-with the two dimensional digital imaging, a lot of research and advancement in three dimensional dental imaging has also taken place. 'Cone Beam Computed Tomography' or simply CBCT has also become a standard of care for diagnosis and treatment planning worldwide.…”

“…There have been some reports of more retakes of un-acceptable radiographs due to ease of using digital radiography, thus increasing the radiation dose. 3 Various researchers worldwide have reported on comparisons between digital and conventional radiography usage among dental practitioners. A study from Lithuania reported that younger dentists are more likely to use radiographs for routine diagnosis.…”

“…7 Perhaps most striking results were from Sweden where a recent survey revealed that 98% Dentists have shifted to digital radiography. 3 Reported research on CBCT reveals that although dentists are aware of it, they lack skill to interpret a scan. Also a need to include CBCT in undergraduate curriculum was expressed in surveys.…”

OBJECTIVE: Digital radiography has many advantages over conventional radiography. However, the adaptation of this new technique is still slow. Moreover, safety measures related to radiography remain an important but neglected area of dental practice. The objective of this study was to assess practices of dentists about digital imaging techniques in dental radiology and radiographic safety. METHODOLOGY: A questionnaire based study was conducted among dental practitioners of Karachi. Convenience sampling technique was used to draw the sample of 164 general practitioners from Karachi. A 4 part questionnaire was used. Part 1 recorded basic demographic data, while part 2,3 and 4 focused on specific aspects of digital radiography and safety. SPSS version 21 was used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics was used to calculate frequency and percentage of responses. Chi square test was used to asses associations at a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS: A total of 164 fully filled forms were included in final analysis. Majority of respondents (n=113, 69%) were users of digital radiography. The main reason (n=36, 70.7%) for not using it was cost of equipment. Main reason for prescribing a CBCT was for implants (n=55, 33.5%). Most respondents (n=99, 60.4%) used lead protection for radiographing pregnant patients. A total of 64 respondents (39%) themselves held xray films in patient's mouth. There was significant association (p=0.002) between female gender and not performing radiographs (p=0.005). CONCLUSIONS: Although the adaptation of digital techniques was satisfactory, the radiation safety practices of dental surgeons were inadequate.

Lutetium aluminum garnet, commonly known as LuAG, is a versatile material finding numerous optical applications, and whose scintillation properties have been widely investigated. In this study, experimental evidences of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) phenomena occurring in LuAG:Ce crystals are shown. After demonstrating the possibility to optically bleach an electron trap responsible for a thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) peak at 280 C (heating rate 1.7 C s À1 ) using red light, a direct measurement of the OSL decay curve and of the resulting characteristic Ce 3þ 5d-4f emission spectrum is carried out. The assessment of the bleaching spectrum of the TSL peak at 280 C reveals that light with wavelength in the 600-650 nm interval is the most efficient in depleting the TSL peak, making He-Ne lasers suitable sources of optical stimulation. The finding of OSL features in LuAG: Ce paves the way to new application perspectives. In particular, the achievement of a good balance between scintillation and energy storage properties of LuAG.Ce can drive a constructive integration between X-rays imaging approaches based on photo-stimulable phosphors and those exploiting scintillating materials.
