Abstract:
The apical and marginal parodontium are the main targets in dental roentgenology. The most important structural details are of 0.1 to 1.0 mm size. Their imaging is determined by - among other parameters - The X-ray film technique. This article presents quality criteria for a number of standard projections, that appear suitable for assessing the image quality. Other factors determining the characteristics of an x-ray film have been neglected, the only exception being a short treatise on the importance of contrast.
