Everything you need to know about intraoral sensors

Digital sensors are extremely reliable and provide images that are incredibly diagnostic and high-resolution. They are basically a chip, similar to what you would find in a digital camera, encased in a hard plastic covering that’s sealed to prevent damage from any type of liquid.

While early versions sometimes used proprietary connectors to attach to the computer, almost all of today’s digital sensors attach to the computer via USB. Some even have done away with the wire and communicate with the computer via a wireless protocol.
