Copyright ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Essentials of Dental Radiography for Dental Assistants and Hygienists, Ninth Edition Evelyn M. Thomson Orlen N. Johnson Introduction  Dental radiographs are images or pictures produced by x-rays, remain the basis for many diagnostic procedures and play an essential role in oral health care.  Radiography is the making of radiographs by exposing an image receptor, either film or digital sensor.

Copyright ©2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Essentials of Dental Radiography for Dental Assistants and Hygienists, Ninth Edition Evelyn M. Thomson Orlen N. Johnson Introduction  The purpose of dental radiography is to provide the oral health care team with radiographs of the best possible diagnostic quality.  The goal of dental radiography is to obtain the highest quality radiographs while maintaining the lowest possible radiation exposure risk for the patient.

Johnson Discovery of the X-ray  Oral radiology  Study of x-rays and techniques used to produce radiographic images. Professor Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered x- rays (1895)  X-ray  Initially, “x” represented the unknown  Roentgen ray  Named in honor of Roentgen’s findings.
