Background: Digital imaging modalities which are recently developed offer better options by significantly reducing the dosage of radiation exposed and at the same time offer better quality with user- friendly options. Such things must be made known to the dentists which will in turn benefit the patient as well. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitude towards digital radiography among dentists. Materials and Methods: A systematic random survey of practicing dentists in Chennai using a questionnaire with questions pertaining to individual details, knowledge level and approach toward digital radiography was done. A total of 50 dentists were included in the survey. Results: In this study, it was found that majority of the dental practitioners prefer digital imaging modalities in their practice. However, detailed knowledge regarding the digital imaging remains unknown to some. Conclusion: Proper precautions need to be taken by the dentists during radiation exposure, which has to be made known to them, and also the various advances in the digital imaging modalities, which provide better options for the dentist as well as the patient.
