Resumo: Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether changes of density and contrast in dental radiographs caused by degradation of processing solutions can be visually identified. Methods: Sixty periapical radiographs were taken using a density scale and a phantom, and were processed in a portable dark room using processing solutions in progressive degradation over 30 days of the study. The films of the density scale were used to evaluate the percentage of density and contrast decrease, and the exposed films with the phantom were used for visual evaluation. Eighteen dentists scored the radiographs according to the possibility of image interpretation. Results: Only radiographs with 45% average loss of density and 62% of contrast were considered inappropriate for diagnostic purposes. Conclusion: It was concluded that the visual clinical evaluation is inadequate to be used as a single program of quality control in Dental Radiology. Key words: Dental radiography; quality control; diagnostic; processing

Metodologia: Foram obtidas 60 radiografias periapicais utilizado uma escala de densidades ou um phantom, processadas em uma caixa portátil com líquidos revelador e fixador em progressiva degradação ao longo de 30 dias do experimento. Os filmes da escala de densidades foram usados para avaliar a diminuição percentual de densidade e contraste, e os expostos com o phantom, para a avaliação visual. Nesta última, 18 cirurgiões-dentistas atribuíram notas às radiografias de acordo com a possibilidade de interpretação das imagens. Resultados: Constatou-se que só foram consideradas impróprias para diagnóstico as radiografias que apresentaram perdas médias de 45% de densidade e 62% de contraste. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que a avaliação clínica visual é inadequada para ser executada como um programa único de controle de qualidade de radiografias dentais.
