The Flash Dent digital intraoral radiographic system is yet to be described in the scientific literature. A Windows operating environment, a lens based optical scintillator charge-coupled device (CCD) and 'IMG' image format are the major features which distinguish this from other available systems. In this paper we describe the component of the Flash Dent system, investigate the validity of the X-ray generator specifications, determine comparative image doses and assess the performance of the intraoral sensor. Although we found Flash Dent software facilitates image processing, X-ray generator operation, sensor performance and dimensional measurements, inconsistencies between sensors and the use of a non-standard image format require further consideration for improvements on the part of the manufacturer.
闪速齿科数字口腔内放射成像系统在科学文献中尚未被描述。Windows操作环境、基于透镜的光学闪烁体电荷耦合器件（CCD）和“IMG”图像格式是该系统区别于其他现有系统的主要特征。在本文中，我们描述了闪速齿科系统的组件，研究了X射线发生器规格的有效性，确定了比较图像剂量，并评估了口腔内传感器的性能。尽管我们发现闪速齿科软件便于图像处理、X射线发生器操作、传感器性能和尺寸测量，但传感器之间的不一致以及使用非标准图像格式仍需要制造商进一步改进。
