The introduction of the PSP system in dentistry changed the way that dental radiography is performed. It eliminated the need for film processing, as well as allowing dentists to store and reuse images. These systems can be integrated into a computer system and are widely used in dentistry. Because they can be re-used thousands of times, they are a valuable addition to modern dental practices. However, this technology requires proper handling and care due to the potential for radiation exposure, which can damage them.
As a dental radiography imaging method, the PSP is an excellent choice for posterior regions. The plates are flexible and will not cause pain or discomfort when inserted into the mouth. The CCD direct digital image receptor was the first digital image receptor used for intraoral radiography. The storage phosphor plate has multiple layers. The first layer is a protective plastic that protects the phosphor layer. The second layer is a tough plastic that stores digital images.
The PSP system has many advantages. In a limited mouth opening, it’s more difficult to place rigid RVGs. Because they’re hard to insert, they don’t capture the root curvature or periapical area in one image. Furthermore, it can be uncomfortable for the patient, who may experience gaging reflux. This makes the procedure more difficult for patients. Therefore, the PSP System has emerged as an ideal choice for dentists. The PSP system is a combination of a scanner and a photo-stimulated phosphor plate.
When used in dentistry, the PSP plate is flexible. When it is loaded into an x-ray tube, it reflects the image. It has a dot or icon, and the active side is facing the x-ray tube. It can be used to store digital images, and is similar to phosphor plates in medical imaging. This makes the PSP plate a versatile option in dentistry. A dentist can also save the images for a longer period of time than a digital sensor would.
Unlike digital sensors, the PSP plate is much more flexible than a CCD sensor. The patient can tolerate the PSP in the posterior regions of the mouth, and it will provide a more accurate picture than a digital sensor can. This innovation has paved the way for better diagnostics. With the PSP, dentists can take a more detailed look at the teeth with confidence. With this new technology, they can examine the dental health of their patients.
In the case of dental X-rays, the PSP plates are the best options available for storing digital images. They can be integrated into the computer network and are used as an integral part of a pc. This technology is similar to film in dental radiography, and the process of creating an image is quite similar to capturing a digital film. With the PSP technology, the dentist is able to create images in real-time and save them for future reference.
The PSP plates are reusable. They can be reused thousands of times. But they need to be handled properly and under certain conditions to avoid damaging the PSP plates. The advantages of the PSP over the sensor imaging is more significant than the cost. The price of the intraoral-only system is roughly $15,000. This is one of the most expensive dental equipment, but it is a vital part of many practices.
The PSP system uses a phosphor plate that is sensitive to light. The plates are not affected by the light, but they are still sensitive to heat. These systems are used to create digital images of the mouth and the face. As such, they are considered the best imaging technology for the posterior areas of the mouth. The main disadvantage is that they are not instantaneous. A dental scanner can take several hours to process the images.
The PSP system works by using a digital imaging device. The PSP plate is loaded into an x-ray machine with a dot or icon. The active side of the PSP plate should face the x-ray tube. A dental technician will load the plate into the X-ray system. An empty sterilization bag will keep the plate from being exposed to ambient light. If the image is not clear, the imaging system cannot work correctly.
