Abstract:
Digital solutions for extraoral and panoramic radiology have been available for more than 15 years. The costs, however, have been too high for adoption in private dental practice. The past 2 years have seen tremendous growth in the number of relatively cost-effective digital options available to the dentist and dental specialist. Furthermore, computer speed and data storage capacities have progressed. This article presents an overview of systems available at present, and their enabling technologies and enhancement capabilities.
