“…These detectors are silicon‐based semiconductors but are fundamentally different from CCDs in the way that pixel charges are read (Ludlow & Mol 2004). Both systems present a direct and instant image that can be viewed on the screen immediately after radiographic exposure (Goodarzi Pour et al. 2008).…”

Background. Digital radiography has widespread use in endodontics. Determining a correct working length is vital for a proper endodontic therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of conventional and digital radiographic techniques for root canal working length determination. Methods. After determining the real working lengths of 50 permanent maxillary central incisors (gold standard), the conventional (E- and F-speed films) and digital (CCD, PSP) images were obtained using the parallel technique. The mean registered working length of each modality was compared with the other and with the gold standard using one-way ANOVA at P<0.05. Results. No significant difference was found between the recorded working length values using the conventional and digital radiographic techniques (P=0.828). Conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that there was no difference between the measurement accuracy of CCD, PSP and conventional imaging techniques in root canal working length determination.

Introduction: In recent decades, intraoral digital radiography has been accepted as an alternative for conventional radiography due to its diagnostic qualities like "digital adjustments". Pulp calcification is a prevalent occurrence that makes problem in canal instrumentation and reduces the blood flow. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of digital radiography in the diagnosis of pulp calcification with the use of software options. Materials and methods: One hundred human single-canal premolars were selected. The teeth were inserted in a dry human mandible and each tooth was exposed and the images were interpreted by an experienced oral and maxillofacial radiologist with the help of software options. The images were coded considering the existence of pulp calcification. Then the teeth were histologically assessed to verify the existence of pulp calcifications. Results: The following results were obtained (Table 1). Radiographic findings: 37 teeth with calcifications and 63 teeth without calcification. Histopathologic findings: 41 teeth with calcification and 59 teeth without calcification. Kappa assessment (P<0.001) and a coefficient of 0.916 showed high agreement between radiologic and pathologic findings (Sensitivity =90.2%, Specificity=100%). Discussion: Comparison of digital radiographic images with the gold standard showed that enhanced digital images have high accuracy in the diagnosis of pulp calcifications. In this study we were able to diagnose large numbers of pulp calcifications by using specific software options. It was concluded in the present study that use of Pseudo, Negative, Sharpening and Smoothening software options significantly help diagnose pulp calcifications.
