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).
This cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dens invaginatus (DI) and its characteristics in maxillary anterior teeth in a Saudi population. A total of 505 CBCT scans were evaluated, including a total of 2790 maxillary anterior teeth. The patients' demographic data, including age and sex, were recorded.

- A study was conducted at Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University to evaluate dental students' awareness of the problem-based learning (PBL) model in education.
- The research involved a questionnaire distributed to 238 female dental students across all undergraduate years and utilized statistical analyses to assess their responses.
- Results showed no significant differences in perceptions about PBL among the different year groups, indicating that overall awareness and opinions remain unclear and suggesting a need for further research.

Methods: One hundred healthy women aged ≥ 30 years were included. Digital panoramic images and bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spines were recorded.
