Advantages of Dental PSP Scanner over Dental Xray Sensor

Digital imaging systems have seen significant technological advancements over the past 10 years. Digital dentistry is rapidly expanding in India, particularly in digital ways. In the past, dental x-ray systems were time-consuming and not environmentally safe because of chemical use in film development. Today, the radiology department has transformed to make it easier and more precise for dentists to diagnose and customize their x-rays.

Today we will look at the best options for IOPA xrays 1.) Digital Intraoral Sensor RVG and 2. Photo Stimulated Phosphor plate (PSP Scanner). Both solutions have pros and cons.

Problem with an Intraoral Digital Sensor (RVG)

RVG is a great choice for dental practitioners who need digital imaging. However, there are many drawbacks.

1.RVG gives quick results in terms of image structure on the screen but it causes more discomfort for the patients and radiation exposure to doctors as the doctor usually puts his finger inside the mouth of the patient to fix the RVG.

2. Doctors are more likely to be financially affected by the problem of wire cutting and bending at the junction when RVG is used.

3.There are more incidents when the RVG sensor is dropped from the hand, or the patient accidentally bites it. The sensor can be damaged.

4. It is more difficult for child patients and those with restricted mouth opening to place rigid RVG at the correct location to obtain the right images.

5. In most cases of impaction, especially distoangular or verticle, RVG cannot be placed correctly and captured the periapical region or root curvature in a single image.

6. Patients may also feel irritable and uncooperative when placing their RVG.

The problems mentioned above with Intraoral sensors (RVG) were discovered by dental professionals over the past few years. They began looking for solutions.

PSP System Benefits Over the RVG

The PSP system uses a flexible, thin, and wireless plate which can be placed easily inside the mouth, even in a restricted opening. Here are some of the benefits that PSP has over rigid digital intraoral sensors:

1.Dental phosphor plate scanner system (PSP) has a 100% active area. This means that the PSP plate's size can create the image over its entire area. Digital Sensor is only 80-85%. If we use the Size 1 Digital sensor and the Size 1 PSP Plate, the PSP plates will show more teeth (and adjacent area) in the final image, than RVG.

2.PSP plates can be thinner and more flexible than RVG rigid sensors. It is much easier to insert PSP plates into the mouth than RVG rigid sensors.

PSP plates can be used wirelessly so that there is no risk of wire cutting.

3.PSP offers a variety of sizes within one unit. It is also more cost-effective and economical than G.

4. The maintenance cost of PSP is nearly negligible The replacement cost for a damaged PSP plate is minimal. RVG is more expensive at around 5 lacs.

5. Because the PSP plate is held by a patient's finger, there is less radiation exposure for dental professionals than RVG.

Conclusion

The PSP system can provide you with peace of mind, accurate images to diagnose the problem, and flexibility during work. Cruxcan CRX1000 is a popular choice for dental professionals around the globe who favor the PSP system. Unicorn DenMart Ltd provides outstanding service support that makes this product even more reliable and credible.
