Background: Glycaemic dysregulation potentiates the pro-inflammatory response and increases oxidative injury; therefore, preoperative hyperglycaemia is linked to increased mortalities. In addition, inflammation is accompanied by higher glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, and the relationship between this and random blood sugar (RBS) could be non-linear.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- Digital radiography is becoming popular in dentistry, offering advantages over traditional film methods, including better recording and analysis of radiographic data.
- The study aimed to identify the frequency and reasons for image artifacts in intraoral radiographs obtained using photostimulable phosphor plates (PSP).
- Out of 50,000 radiographs evaluated over two years, 7.1% required retakes due to artifacts, with the most common issues being operator errors (especially cone cuts), plate errors (like bite marks), and scanning errors (primarily delayed scans).
