How to Develop Dental X-rays

Dental x-rays are a very important part of dental office technical procedures to ensure good dental health of patients. When patients are at the dentist usually twice a year, x-rays are taken. Dental x-rays are used as a preventive measure and as a treatment aide to help identify potential dental problems. Dental x-rays allow the dentist to see your teeth, bone levels, and surrounding bones in your facial anatomy. Without dental x-rays there is a potential risk of undiagnosed dental decay, infections, hereditary defects of both the soft and hard tissues, and other diseases. There are a few ways to develop x-rays; they include an automatic film processing, quick dip processing and manual processing. Today, I will be instructing you on how to develop dental x-rays using the manual processing procedure. We assume you have taken the proper number of x-rays in need of developing. The tools we¡¦ll need to develop the x-rays are:

„h Latex gloves- the latex gloves are needed when you are removing the protective cover of the x-ray film that has been contaminated.

„h Paper towels- the paper towel is used to set the x-rays on it to prevent contamina


2. Processing into the developer is the next step. You take the wet mount of films and place it into the developer tank. Slowly sway the wet mount side to side inside the solution to remove air bubbles that might attach itself to the films and could cause distortion. Hook wet mount to the tank and place cover back on the dip tank. Set the timer to the appropriate amount of time. Usually, about 5-7 minutes is needed depending on solution manufacturer guidelines. Once the timer has gone off remove tank cover and wet mount and place into the center section in the tank, which hold the water. Allow the wet mount to remain in the water section for one minute to completely remove the developer solution.

-- The film was not left in fixer long enough

-- The film is left inside the fixer too long

„h Fixer solution- the fixer is a solution that is used after the developer; this chemical allows the image on the radiograph to become permanent on the film.
