Phosphor Plates

Phosphor plates are reusable devices that capture radiographic images using photostimulable storage technology. They are coated with a phosphorescent material that retains X-ray energy and, when scanned with a specialised reader, releases this energy in the form of light, generating a high-quality digital image. These plates are thinner and more flexible than direct digital sensors, making them comfortable for patients and versatile across various dental applications.
