Résumé

A comparison between commercial computer screens and DICOM-calibrated medical screens for characterizing anatomy and diagnosing dental pathologies was performed. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the ability of each of those screens to identify root apices and widening of the periodontal ligament (PDL) in the posterior maxillary area. Digital X-ray images of 53 maxillary molar teeth were examined by means of a commercial computer screen and again two months later with a DICOM screen to compare their ability to help identify and diagnose PDL widening and to locate the root apices of those teeth. The DICOM screen had a significantly better ability to identify widened PDLs (from 31.4% to 34.8% of the cases compared to 19% to 26.1% for the commercial screens, P < .001), depending upon the observer. The DICOM screen was also significantly superior in depicting the root apices compared to the commercial screens (from 77.4% to 83.6% of the cases compared to 56% to 66.7% for the commercial screens, P < 0.001), depending upon the observer. DICOM-calibrated medical screens were significantly superior to commercial computer screens for identifying widened PDLs and locating the root apex in the posterior maxillary area.
