In this study, an intra oral dental unit (Siemens-70) at King Abdul Aziz University (KAU) Dental Hospital was selected and investigated for visual image quality assessment and radiation protection purposes. Radiation dosimetry for determining the optimum image quality with the lowest radiation exposure to the patient was carried out. A DXTTR dental radiography trainer phantom head and neck, portable survey meter Model RAD EYE-B20, and radiation dosimetry system RADCAL Acuu-pro were used in this study. RADCAL Accu-pro is a non-invasive kV system, reliable instruments to measure and diagnose all X-ray machines including dental units. The radiation exposure to patients in (mGy) was measured using RADCAL ionization chamber Model 10×6-6. The best image quality with the lowest exposure dose was assessed for conventional intraoral X-ray film (Kodak type E) and the digital processing sensor (RVG 5200). Radiation survey level was done during this study for safety and protection purposes.

Introduction. Radiovisiography (RVG) as the latest imaging technique in dentistry with the minimal radiation exposure of the patient and numerous possibilities to process the images has many advantages over classic radiography. Case report. We presented an interesting clinical endodontic case of primary posted diagnosis of traumatic periodontitis of upper right canine upon orthodontics treatment. As the patient previously had been exposed to alleged high dose of radiation the patient agreed to minimal exposition using digital RVG. The options of the tool bar of RVG Trophy device enabled the solving of ethiologic factor of presented periodontitis. The enigma of the symptoms on the ?overfilled? root canal was solved zooming and 3-D analysis avoiding periapical surgery owing to the patience of the patient and the dentist in a couple of days. Conclusion. By applying RVG technique the time for diagnostic procedure is much shorter in comparison with traditional dental radiography enabling archiving and follow-up the presented case in the course of time.
