Dental radiology and imaginology is the specialty that is most related to other disciplines in Dentistry, and has as its main goal to discover, confirm, locate and classify injuries, being, therefore, an indispensable practice in the dental clinic. Conventional radiographic film has been used as the best option for registration of intraoral images, however it has some disadvantage leading to a search for replacement. These disadvantages are related to radiographic processing, such as the variability in the quality of the obtained imaged, use of chemicals, damage to the environment by the waste of film and processing solutions, and the impossibility to work the image after acquired. Technological advances in last years allowed major changes in health, in particular by digital radiography, which contributed to improvements in the image quality, reduced doses of X-rays and environment preservation. Sixteen sensors for digital radiography were purchased, installed in dental radiographic boxes in the four clinics of the university, in both boxes of the multidisciplinary labs, and in two boxes of the Radiology clinic. The undergraduate students and the professors underwent technical training to use the digital radiography system. The development of the online handbook by the FOA-UNESP Academic Session allows the storage of the digital images in the patient's handbook
