Comparing the sensitometric properties of dental X-ray films

This article describes a study that compared the sensitometric properties and information yields of four dental X-ray films: Eastman Kodak Ultra-Speed DF-57 and Ektaspeed EP-21, Flow DV-58 and Agfa Gevaert Dentus M2 Comfort. Dentus M2 Comfort gave the greatest contrast, a speed between the conventional D- and E-speed film groups and an exposure latitude wider than Ultra-Speed but less than DV-58. A significant difference in detail was found with low exposures, Dentus M2 Comfort and Ektaspeed outperforming the other two film types.
