ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process is provided for permanently imprinting historical data onto original dental radiographs by radiographically developing such information onto the film when initially developed. One preferred embodiment utilizes a pliers-like film holder with jaws to secure a radiographic film in place relative to a patient's teeth. The jaws have a slot to receive a removable marker which carries radio-opaque data to be permanently imprinted onto the radiograph. Another device includes a pronged film holder having a slot to receive such a removable marker. Processes for permanently imprinting dental radiographs, including the steps above recited, are also disclosed and claimed.
