  • Title: Use of intraoral cassettes for dental xeroradiography.
    Author: Grant BM, Sickles EA, Parks CR.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1978 Nov; 46(5):717-20. PubMed ID: 280862.
    Abstract:
    Before clinical trials of intraoral xeroradiography are begun, we felt the need to evaluate the clinical acceptability of the thicker, more rigid xerographic cassettes. We stimulated these cassettes by fastening rigid acrylic plates of appropriate thickness to conventional film packets and then conducted parallel evaluations of simulated cassettes and conventional film packets, using thirty volunteer patients. We found no difference in anatomic placement, operator acceptance, and patient acceptance between the "cassettes" and film packets. The increased thickness and rigidity of intraoral xerographic cassettes should not prove disadvantageous to in vivo intraoral xeroradiography.
