Firstly, digital radiography produces images much faster, reducing the amount of time patients need to spend in the dental chair. Additionally, digital images can be easily enhanced and manipulated to improve diagnostic accuracy. They also require significantly less radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays, making them safer for patients.

  

Digital radiography works by using a digital sensor or phosphor plate to capture the X-ray image instead of traditional film. The X-ray machine sends a beam of X-rays through the area being examined, and the sensor or plate captures the image. The image is then processed and displayed on a computer screen, where it can be viewed, enhanced, and stored digitally.
