Periapical radiograph RVG

The Radio Vision Graphy (RVG) imaging system¹ commonly used in dentistry to take intraoral periapical radiographs features the latest innovations in digital radiography, delivering the highest image resolution (> 20 LP/mm). RVG consists of a sensor, monitor, and microcomputer components

What is a periapical radiographic image?

A periapical x-ray is one that captures the whole tooth. It shows everything from the crown (chewing surface) to the root (below the gum line). Each periapical x-ray shows a small section of your upper or lower teeth. These x-rays are often used to detect any unusual changes in the root and surrounding bone structures.

What are the limitations of periapical radiography?

The periapical radiography is nowadays the main radiographic investigations used but presents some limits as 3D anatomic alteration, geometric compression, and possible anatomical structures overlapping that can obscure the area of interest.
