Densitometric evaluation of three x-ray films with five different developing solutions.
In order to determine the influence of different processing solutions on the quality of the radiograph, an aluminum step-wedge was radiographed with three speed D periapical films of three different manufacturers. The films were developed in five different processing solutions at standardized conditions, according to the manufacturers' instructions. Data concerning film density, contrast, fog plus base, and relative speed of each film-solution combination were compiled in an attempt to evaluate the optimal film-solution combination.
