A dental phosphor plate is a reusable, high-resolution imaging plate used in digital intraoral X-ray systems.Â
It captures radiographic images and transfers them to a scanner for instant digital display, enabling accurate diagnosis without traditional film processing.
Why Choose This Dental Phosphor Plate?
Modern dental practices demand precision, speed, and patient comfort. This intraoral phosphor storage plate (PSP) is designed to meet those needs by combining high-definition imaging, flexible design, and fit with most PSP scanners.
Unlike rigid sensors, these plates offer a film-like experience while delivering digital efficiency, making them ideal for clinics transitioning from analog to digital radiography.

- Align with X-ray beam source
Capture the X-Ray Image
- Plate absorbs and stores X-ray energy
Scan the Plate
- Insert into PSP scanner
- Image is digitised and displayed instantly on the computer
Reuse After Proper Handling
- Clean and store carefully for future use
