| Abstract | |
Radiograph should be of diagnostic quality for proper diagnosis. Dark radiographs are most commonly encountered faults in dental radiography which renders the radiograph useless. Such faulty radiograph requires a retake of the radiograph which causes unnecessary exposure to the patient and waste of precious time. Hence, a simple method is required which could salvage a dark radiograph. This article describes various methods used for lightening a dark radiograph along with a simple method like scraping the emulsion.
