Direct image acquisition of intra-oral images using digital, filmless, techniques has been possible only since the late 1980s, although indirect methods have been available since the late 1970s. The techniques possible so far have had a number of limitations, making them cumbersome to use. A new system, the Digora system, has recently been developed in Finland, which overcomes many of these shortcomings. The principles and uses of this system are described here.
