The purpose of the study was to assess the quality of radiographs accompanying claims submitted for pretreatment review, and to determine the relative importance of radiograph quality in dental consultants' decisions regarding the necessity and appropriateness of crown services. Findings indicate that: 1) the technical quality of radiographs in the sample is adequate for most criteria; and 2) radiograph quality, number, and type of film submitted do not explain much of the variation in disagreements between the direct and indirect assessments of crown services. The most important radiograph variables influencing pretreatment review decisions appear to be the number of periapical films submitted for review, and the density/contrast of the radiographs.
该研究的目的是评估提交用于预处理审查的索赔所附带的X光片质量，并确定X光片质量在牙科顾问关于牙冠服务必要性和适当性的决策中的相对重要性。研究结果表明：1）样本中X光片的技术质量在大多数标准下是足够的；2）提交的X光片质量、数量和胶片类型并不能很好地解释牙冠服务直接和间接评估之间分歧的变化。影响预处理审查决策的最重要的X光片变量似乎是提交审查的根尖片数量以及X光片的密度/对比度。
