🔸Technique Used: The standard exposure technique for periodontal imaging procedures is undoubtedly the intraoral radiography using a strict paralleling technique.
🔸Digital Radiography: In digital radiography dedicated software for periodontal filtering may offer an optimised image to inspect crestal cortication, lamina dura and periodontal ligament space. The drawbacks of this system for periodontal imaging remain the sensor rigidity and the restricted active area of the sensor and the cable. To avoid bite marks and damage to the latter, a clip system in conjunction with the beam-aiming device is essential but often not available.
