Processing

Small dental films can be processed manually or automatically.

Standard manual processing tanks for veterinary radiographs need special film hangers for small dental films. A chair-side developer is available, which is a light proofed fibreglass box that enables films to be developed in the operating room.

It contains small pots of developer, water and fixer. Results are available in less than one minute. A similar result can be achieved with jam jars in the darkroom.

Many automatic developing machines will not take small dental film. One unit, the VELOPEX EXTRA-X™, uses belts, in addition to rollers, and is suitable for the development of small films.
