Digital X-ray imaging systems are an alternative to conventional intraoral radiograms. In the paper there are discussed the possibilities of application of different digital radiography tools as well as density measurements in optimization of diagnostics of pathological lesions of teeth crowns. There were analyzed 1,491 digital intraoral radiograms obtained in 985 patients in the Digora Soredex digital radiography system. On all taken X-ray pictures there were evaluated the crowns of teeth in cases of primary and secondary caries, dental fillings, internal resorption, traumatic lesions of incisors as well as the relationships between deep carietic lesions and pulp horns as well as root furcation. An attempt was made to assess the possibilities of differentiation of cervical caries and cervical burn-out. In the paper there were presented the optimal options of digital radiography software in diagnostics of the discussed pathological lesions.
