Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of commercial computer screens versus DICOM-calibrated medical screens in identifying root apices and periodontal ligament (PDL) widening in dental X-rays.
- Digital X-ray images of 53 maxillary molars were reviewed twice, once on each type of screen, to assess their diagnostic capabilities.
- Results showed that DICOM screens significantly outperformed commercial screens in detecting widened PDLs and locating root apices, indicating their superior quality for medical imaging.

Dentists frequently encounter the need to cement indirect restorations in clinical situations that are less than ideal, and the longevity and predictability of the indirect restorative materials used in such cases is largely predicated on the chemical and/or mechanical bond formed between the natural tooth or abutment and the cement. These non-ideal scenarios have been a significant driver in the continued evolution of self-adhesive resin cements (SARCs) with added functional monomers, such as 10-MDP. This article discusses three real-world case studies in which a newly developed universal SARC was utilized and combined with the use of an optional adhesive-enhancing primer that employs a proprietary "touch-cure" technology, or a light-cured adhesive, to improve the bond strength of the resin cement and enhance patient outcomes.
