Digital Chair Side Radiograph
Radiographs are an essential diagnostic aid in the field of dentistry. If you have any dental problems, your dentist might advise you for an RVG (Radiovisiography) or a digital chair-side radiograph. Let’s learn more about it.
What is a Digital Chair Side Radiograph?
The digital chair-side radiograph or RVG (radiovisiography) is a 2D X-ray that is taken with a digital sensor. This type of X-ray is used to diagnose dental problems. The digital sensor is placed in the mouth and takes an X-ray of the teeth and surrounding structures. The digital sensor is connected to a computer which allows the dentist to view the X-ray on a monitor.

Digital chair-side radiograph is indicated for use in dental procedures where real-time imaging is needed.
Your dentist might advise you for an RVG in the following cases:
-
Diagnosis of cavities
