Dental X-ray Sensor – Digital RVG Sensor for High-Resolution Intraoral Imaging

A Dental X-ray Sensor, also known as an RVG (RadioVisioGraphy) Sensor, is a digital intraoral imaging device designed to capture high-resolution dental X-rays with minimal radiation and instant image transmission to a computer. It is an essential diagnostic tool in endodontics, implantology, orthodontics, restorative dentistry, and general dental practice.

The sensor enables dentists to obtain sharp, detailed periapical and bitewing images with superior clarity, allowing accurate diagnosis and improved treatment planning.

The digital intraoral X-ray sensor replaces traditional X-ray films by using advanced CMOS/CCD technology to convert X-ray exposure into digital images within seconds. It connects directly to a laptop or desktop via USB or through a control box, providing real-time imaging for chairside diagnosis.

The sensor is housed in a slim, rounded-edge, patient-friendly casing, reducing discomfort during placement. It is designed with waterproof, durable materials to withstand repeated positioning, disinfection, and daily clinical use.

Most sensors come in Size 1 and Size 2, suitable for both children and adults.
