Dental radiography quizzes

How many radiographs are needed for a complete mouth exam?

Dental X-rays (radiographs) are internal images of your teeth and jaws.
Dentists use X-rays to examine structures they can't see during a routine checkup, like your jawbone, nerves, sinuses and teeth roots..

What is a basic radiography in dentistry?

Here is a simple breakdown to help you read those dental X-rays

1. The more thick and dense the material is, the BRIGHTER WHITE it will show on the x-ray
2. Holes and voids, however, because they are NOT thick or dense at all, show up as BLACK on the x-rays
