Applications of Digital Fluoroscopy in Dental Practice – A Review

Abstract

Digital fluoroscopy has unlimited potential in dentistry. It is an x-ray related medical imaging technique and provides dynamic or continuous moving images on a monitor which makes the dentist to work easier and faster. The amount of radiation in dental fluoroscopy is considered as minimal when compared to the conventional radiography and the risk for radiation exposure is very low. Functional examination of particular region of interest is done with the help of fluoroscope. In near future fluoroscopy usefulness can be increased by developing the technology, which allows dynamic radiographs for dental use.
