Dental X-rays
18 products
Dental X-rays are equipment for precise dental diagnostics and treatment control. The device generates energy that is released in the form of electromagnetic waves - ionization X-rays. Tissues absorb waves with different intensities depending on their structure and density. As a result, the output image shows the area of the oral cavity with different degrees of illumination.
Dental X-ray machine: importance, functions and modern technologies
An X-ray machine for dentistry helps to identify hidden problems and plan effective treatment with timely intervention. With the help of X-rays, dentists can detect inflammation, caries, gum disease, and retained teeth long before they become visible to the naked eye.
The use of modern technologies makes operation even easier and faster. For example, the units are complemented by intraoral digital sensors for visual diagnostics and three-dimensional mapping of the oral cavity, with a detailed examination of individual teeth and areas where surgical placement of dental implants is planned. The sensors also perform precision optical scanning of tooth impressions.
Types of dental X-ray machines
By type of image
- Panoramic X-rays (OPTG). Two-dimensional static dental examination performed on an orthopantomograph. Covers the entire oral cavity in one image, including teeth, upper/lower jaws, surrounding structures and tissues. It is used to plan treatment for full and partial dentures, braces, extractions, and implants.
- Sighting. Detailed images for a precise examination of one to four teeth, which is carried out on a visiograph. It is used to check the course of treatment.
- Computed tomography (CT). 3D X-ray images of teeth, jaws, joints, nerves and sinuses created using a computerized tomography scanner. They can also detect tumors or fractures of the face. Dental surgeons often use dental CT scans to check the height, width, and positioning of the jawbone before placing dental implants.
According to the operating conditions
- Portable. Dental X-ray machines on a tripod or movable support provide convenience for working in different offices. The new generation of mobile X-ray machines are wireless and battery-powered, which allows you to perform imaging anywhere and anytime.
- Stationary. A standard X-ray machine for dentistry. These are high-performance models for large clinics that provide high image quality and stability. According to the type of mounting, there are floor and wall-mounted. They are mounted with special brackets and are not intended for movement.
Advantages
The modern diagnostic method helps to use an individual approach and consider each case as a separate one. Modern dental X-ray machines for dental X-ray provide:
- Accuracy and detail of images.
- Minimum radiation dose.
- Convenience of use and storage of results in digital format.
- Compatibility with the clinic's computer system.
Main selection criteria
When choosing, pay attention to several aspects:
Type of device
According to the type of wave reception and processing, dental X-ray machines are divided into:
- Digital dental X-rays. They analyze and transfer the received information to the screen of the device in a split second. The touch-screen interface and several modes cover the entire range of examinations for endodontics, periodontics, dental surgery, orthodontics, etc. In addition, they offer a large number of options, such as 3D modeling for a complete examination of teeth and soft tissues.
- Analog - the image is developed on film, which takes more time.
Type of tube
The frequency of the tube depends on the speed and stability of the stator rotation. In classical and targeted radiographs, the value is 50-60 V at 50/60 Hz and 100-110 V at 150/180 Hz.
Factors affecting image quality
Focal spot
The resolution and the degree of focus depend on the size of the focal spot, which acts as a source of X-rays. Reducing the diameter of the focal spot produces a sharply focused beam, which increases image clarity. Also, this characteristic, together with the SED (source-receiver distance) and the ODD (object-receiver distance), affect the overall quality of the images. MediGo offers high-quality dental X-ray machines with a focal spot size of 0.5 mm to 0.4 mm to detect the smallest defects.
Exposure
Exposure is closely related to the aforementioned VDO, VO and focal spot size.
There are three technical parameters of exposure:
There are three technical parameters of exposure:
- Voltage in kilovolts (kV)
- Milliamps (mA)
- Exposure time in seconds
The latter two indicate the intensity of radiation generated by the X-ray tube during the entire time.
Adjustment can be done either manually or automatically:
Adjustment can be done either manually or automatically:
Manual mode
When using programmed exposure positions in dental X-rays, it is important to consider 7 main factors for image quality:
- Optical density of the image.
- Contrast.
- Clarity.
- Geometric distortion.
- Exposure time.
- Focal length.
- Light sensitivity of the photographic material.
ACE.
The automatic exposure control (ACE) function speeds up the radiologist's work as the device calculates and sets the optimal time. This smart assistant helps to avoid overly transparent or darkened images and maximize the detection of anatomical details in the image.

FAQ
What is the radiation dose?
When taking a dental X-ray, the patient receives a very low dose of radiation exposure, which is approximately 2-3 μSv.
How much does a dental X-ray machine cost in Ukraine?
In the MediGo online store, prices for X-ray equipment start at UAH 156,937.
What is the difference between digital and analog equipment?
Analog devices use film to take an image. Digital ones convert radiation into an electronic signal and transmit it to the screen.
