[Comparative study of Agfa-Gavaert, Kodak Ultra-Speed and Kodak Ektaspeed dental radiographic films, processed in...

The films were compared through their characteristic curves obtained in experimental conditions and processed in Sillib's developers. Radiographies of a phanton, obtained in standard conditions of exposure and development, were analysed by dentists and technicians for judgement. It was possible to conclude that as long as the recommendations of films and developers manufactures are followed, the results are acceptable for dental clinical work, when these films were processed in Sillib's solution (20 degrees C/2 min). The judges preferred those which received two times the recommended exposure.
