Periodicity:July - September'2016

Abstract

Digital radiography has been available in India since the early 1990s, but less than 15% of today's practices employ this potent diagnostic and educative tool. Today's dental practices are not just practices; they are, in fact, part of a promising dental industry whose resources are still widely untapped. Even small dental offices have to consider themselves part of this industry. Each of our practices has to acclimatize to this remarkable transformation. Digital radiography has a vital role in this era of evolving dentistry. The transition from an average analog dentist to a digital dentist requires an immense amount of social, psychological, and financial independence from the dentist. Apart from the multitude of social and psychological constraints, the primary hiccup for the film-based dentist is the financial aspect of digital radiography. But today's dentists have to evolve amidst all these nightmares to experience the sunshine of digital radiography.
