title: A comparison of Ektaspeed and Ultraspeed films using manual and automatic processing solutions.
abstract: Kodak's Ektaspeed (E) dental film is twice as fast as Ultraspeed (D) film and thereby significantly reduces radiation exposure to the patient. The film quality of the E film and D film was compared following processing with two manual and two automatic processing techniques. E-speed film processed manually or automatically produces diagnostically acceptable radiographs, with film densities within the recommended density limits commonly used in dentistry. High-contrast and low-contrast radiographs can be achieved by varying processing techniques.
