Abstract

The major drawback of the parallel periapical examination technique is that the holder used can damage the oral tissues and cause discomfort to the patient. The objective of this study is to determine the work efficiency and radiographic quality of the innovative dental x-ray holder which has been made by adding synthetic rubber or silicone to the part of the holder that is in direct contact with the patient. This research is an experimental with a post-test only design. The analysis was performed based on filling out the questionnaire on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 4. With the criteria 1. Disagree, 2. Sometimes, 3. Agree and 4. Strongly Agree. The test was administered by comparing the holder made with the commonly used Aphrodite holder as a control group. There were 16 repetitions of exposure to the cadaveric skull in obtaining research data for each treatment group. The results of statistical work efficiency testing on the control group resulted in a value of B = 0.125 with a significance of 0.071 and an effect of 10.5%. Meanwhile, for testing the quality of radiographic image, the value of B = 0.125 with a significance of 0.014 and an effect of 18.5% was obtained. The innovative dental x-ray holder using a silicone rubber layer is efficient and the resulting radiographic image quality is good when used in the intraoral examination.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of use by radiographers and image quality in the use of dental holders that have been modified with silicone rubber in dental radiography procedures. Motivated by the problem in the use of conventional dental holders that often cause discomfort for patients and the potential for motion artifacts, a modification with silicone rubber was proposed. The study sample involved 16 repetitions on each head cadaver using both the innovative and control dental holders. The results of the paired t-test showed a significant difference in efficiency of use by radiographers and image quality between the two groups. The efficiency of use by radiographers increased, supported by a Cohen's d value of 9.632. The modification with silicone rubber showed better images, with a Cohen's d value of 0.325, attributed to the adjustable conus guide capability according to the size of the patient's mouth and jaw as well as the increased comfort with the silicone rubber material. This study recommends the adoption of the modified dental holder to improve procedure efficiency and quality of dental radiography results.
