RESUMO

Studies have shown the existence of various methods for the obtainment of digital and digitized radiographs; nevertheless, some of these methods are costly and difficult. It is also known that the use of digital files in Dentistry is still beginning. The purpose of this paper is not to call into question the legal vaI ue of digital lmages but otherwi se introduce indirect radiograph digitizing techniques, thus reducing cost and facilitating performance. Two scanners of different trademarks and models were used to digitize 14 periapical radiographs in order to demonstrate the practicability of the respective techniques, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. The table scanner provided better results when compared to the slide scanner. The legality of digital files in Dentistry is only a question of time. The techniques presented were adapted to the needs of the dentist and odontolegist and are based on simple and fundamental principIes of digital imaging, what lead us to believe that dentists will soon be able to use them and experience the benefits of informatics
