Abstract
Objective: To develop and test a prototype for interproximal radiography positioning intended for pediatric dentistry and compare the technical quality of image receptor-holding devices (IRHD) commonly used in clinical practice.
Methods: Six prototypes, with three wedge dimensions (0.5 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm) in upper and lower positions on the bitewing surface were compared regarding their capacity to acquire interproximal radiographs without overlapping surfaces with other IRHDs: RinnXCPTM, Hawe KerrTM, and Cone Indicator. Fifteen graduate students obtained images of deciduous molars in a child's skull and mandible. The chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were employed to analyze significant differences in the number of repetitions and failures in obtaining correct images. A one-way ANOVA assessed the difference between the mean times required for image acquisition according to each IRHD, adopting a significance level of 5%.
Results: The effectiveness of the tested devices, evaluated by the number of correct and incorrect acquisitions using Fisher's exact test, revealed a p-value of 0.057. The ANOVA demonstrated statistically significant differences in the mean acquisition times (p < 0.0000). The upper and lower wedge prototypes 2 mm performed better in acquiring only one radiograph (76.7%) and took less time to execute the technique (1.17 min and 1.12 min, respectively).
Conclusion: The prototypes showed comparable performance to alternative IRHDs but provided advantages in time efficiency and radiation exposure.
期刊介绍：
Dentomaxillofacial Radiology (DMFR) is the journal of the International Association of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology (IADMFR) and covers the closely related fields of oral radiology and head and neck imaging.
Established in 1972, DMFR is a key resource keeping dentists, radiologists and clinicians and scientists with an interest in Head and Neck imaging abreast of important research and developments in oral and maxillofacial radiology.
The DMFR editorial board features a panel of international experts including Editor-in-Chief Professor Ralf Schulze. Our editorial board provide their expertise and guidance in shaping the content and direction of the journal.
