Dental Radiographs are commonly called Dental x-rays. Dentists use radiographs for many reasons: to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities.  A radiographic image is formed by a controlled burst of X-ray radiation which penetrates oral structures at different levels, depending on varying anatomical densities,before striking the film or sensor. Teeth appear lighter because less radiation penetrates them to reach the film.   Infections and other changes in the bone density appear darker because X rays readily penetrate these less dense Structures.  Dental restorations (fillings, crowns) may appear lighter or darker, depending on the density of the material.

Digital radiography is a form of , where digital X-ray sensors are used instead oftraditional photographic film. Advantages include time efficiency throughbypassing chemical processing and also less radiation can be used to produce animage of similar contrast to conventional radiography.
