Abstract
Digital imaging technology has revolutionized the field of dental radiography, offering significant advantages over traditional film-based radiography. This review article aims to explore the use of digital imaging technology in dental radiography for improved diagnosis and treatment planning in nursing care settings. The benefits of digital radiography, including enhanced image quality, reduced radiation exposure, and improved workflow efficiency, are discussed. Furthermore, the integration of digital imaging technology with electronic health records and telemedicine platforms is examined, highlighting its potential to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and enhance patient care in nursing facilities. The challenges and limitations associated with the adoption of digital radiography in nursing care settings are also addressed, along with strategies to overcome these barriers. Additionally, the article provides insights into the training and education of nursing staff in the use of digital imaging technology, emphasizing the importance of ongoing professional development to ensure optimal utilization of these advanced tools. Overall, this review aims to underscore the transformative impact of digital imaging technology on dental radiography in nursing care settings and its potential to improve diagnosis and treatment planning, ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care.
