![]() ![]() This spot on the film coincided and was in contact with the stapler pin. Some of the radiographs revealed an ovoid/pear-shaped yellowish to brown spots on the radiographs, ,. Later, films were attached in the record books with the help of a stapler pin along with the film packet. Bisecting angle technique was used followed by automatic method of film processing for all the radiographs. The radiographs might have been 1- or 2-year old. It was learnt that these radiographs were collected from the old undergraduate record books from the department of oral medicine and radiology. įigure 1: Intraoral periapical radiograph showing a thin delicate tree-like patternįigure 2: Fine delicate Tree-like pattern with a dark brown oval-shaped appearance adjacent to itįigure 3: Uniform Tree-like pattern with a brown oval-shaped appearance on the filmįigure 5: Well-demarcated zig-zag pattern appreciated within the oval discoloration An interesting finding in the radiographs was an unusual radiolucent appearance of a tree-like pattern along with brown stain, ,,. ,, ,, are intraoral peri-apical radiographs taken for different regions and for varied dental pathologies. , In this article, the authors present some intraoral radiographs with some interesting findings. Antistatic pad on the floor and handling film carefully can reduce these artifacts. This can be prevented by placing a humidifier or container of water in the dark room during cold months when the heating system is working. Also, synthetic material clothing and rubber-soled shoes of the film handler rubbing against carpet contribute to this. ![]() They result from opening a film packet quickly and usually in periods of low humidity. Static electricity is an artifact which typically presents as thin, black branching lines on the film. , Identification of these is utmost important because they may sometime mimic pathologies or may obscure the area of interest. Literature reveals that there are various causes of faults and artifacts occurring due to improper film handling, chemical contamination, etc. ![]() Available from: Īrtifact is a structure or an appearance that is not normally present on the radiograph and is produced by artificial means.

Keywords: Artifact, faults, films, static electricity The authors here have noticed an interesting fault which is seldom mentioned in the literature. The diagnostic quality of a dental radiograph may be affected during any of these procedures and even after that. Dental radiographs are subjected to various phases (procedures) right from the manufacturing and packaging until it is been exposed and processed. An ideal radiograph is one that provides a great deal of information, the image exhibits proper density and contrast, have sharp outlines, and are of the same shape and size as the object being radiographed. A good and ideal diagnostic radiograph is essential for this purpose. Radiograph play as an important adjunct, in addition to history and clinical evaluation for the diagnosis of pathologies in head and neck region. ![]()
