Cone Beam Volumetric Imaging has many advantages over simple panoramic film and digital images, including enabling accurate visualization of head and neck structures and reducing X-ray doses. It has been rapidly adopted and is becoming the “standard of care” for several applications and preferred for others.

Several types of intraoral radiographs can be taken. An understanding of both the paralleling and bisecting techniques and when to use these is necessary. Avoiding common errors when taking intraoral radiographs reduces the need for retakes. Minimizing radiation exposure for patients and the operator is an essential component of intraoral radiography.

A quality intraoral radiograph will reveal maximum detail in the image with anatomic accuracy and optimal density and contrast. Such a radiograph will show the teeth and anatomic structures accurately without distortion or magnification, and will have the optimal density and contrast to maximize its use for the detection of dental disease. To create a quality radiograph, the film must be properly positioned and the exposure technique factors must be appropriate for the patient and the film selected. In addition, proper processing time, temperature and handling requirements must be followed.

The dawn of digital dental radiography came in 1987 when the first digital radiography system was launched in Europe by the French company, Trophy Radiologie. Digital radiography became part of the evolution in the 100 year journey to harness the energies of X-rays and improve the lives of patients through superior diagnostic information, with less dosage and greater comfort. Digital dental radiography poses a credible challenge to film in terms of costs, diagnostic efficiency, and productivity, it is incumbent on practitioners to educate themselves and consider how to effectively implement this technology in their own office. It is important to consider the psychological and organizational implications of implementing such a dynamic change in an office environment. Through the use of digital radiography, dental offices will provide better patient care and improve productivity.

The use of intraoral imaging is essential to visualize teeth and surrounding bony structure alike. It must be emphasized that first a medical history should be updated or completed and then be followed by a detailed clinical examination. Frequency of imaging should be based upon individual patient examinations and history of disease.
