Comparison of digital and conventional radiography for the detection of proximal surface caries

Conventional intraoral radiography continues to be the most widely used for the diagnosis of dental caries. But conventional intraoral film has several shortcomings, including processing error, increased radiation dose, etc. Recently, various digital radiographs substitude for conventional radiography to overcome these disadvantages. The digital radiographies are numerous advantages, including elimination of processing errors, lower radiation dose, image quality enhancements such as contrast and density modulation.(omitted)
