title: Evaluation of new radiographic screens for intraoral radiography.
abstract: The ability of screen-films to depict dental structures utilizing the parameters used in intraoral radiography is investigated. The resolution and contrast of a variety of screen-film combinations are determined. Radiographs made on a phantom and patient are evaluated by observers. Some film-screen combinations produce radiographs with qualities similar to conventional intraoral films and with less radiation.
