Pendahuluan: Radiografi sering digunakan untuk pemeriksaan penunjang utama dalam menegakkan diagnosis kelainan periapikal dan yang paling sering digunakan adalah teknik intraoral periapikal. Menegakkan diagnosis secara tepat harus memperhatikan kualitas radiograf, karena digunakan sebagai alat bantu dalam penegakan diagnosis, penentuan rencana perawatan, dan evaluasi pasca perawatan. Teknik periapikal paralel menjadi pilihan terbaik karena dapat menghasilkan radiograf dengan distorsi minimal dan akurasi linier yang lebih akurat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat kualitas radiograf perapikal dengan teknik paralel di Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Universitas Padjajaran. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh radiograf dengan teknik paralel pada tahun 2018. Sampel penelitian ditentukan dengan metode consecutive sampling pada bulan Oktober-Desember 2018, sehingga didapatkan sebanyak 52 sampel radiograf periapikal dengan teknik paralel. Hasil: Terdapat 27 radiograf periapikal (56%) memiliki kriteria penilaian sempurna, 22 radiograf periapikal (42%) memiliki kriteria penilaian dapat diterima secara diagnostik dengan terdapat beberapa kesalahan, dan 3 radiograf periapikal (6%) memiliki penilaian tidak baik sehingga tidak dapat diterima secara diagnostik berdasarkan National Radiological Protection Board serta pemenuhan kriteria kualitas paling banyak adalah kontras dan distorsi ukuran. Simpulan: Kualitas radiografi periapikal dengan teknik paralel di RSGM UNPAD secara umum dapat diterima secara diagnostik dengan penilaian kualitas berada pada rating 1 yaitu, tidak adanya kesalahan dari persiapan pasien, eksposure, posisi film holder, dan pengolahan film, serta dikatakan sempurna secara visual.Kata kunci: Kualitas radiograf, teknik periapikal paralel ABSTRACTIntroduction: Radiographs are often used for primary investigations in the diagnosis of periapical abnormalities, and the most frequently used is the intraoral periapical technique. Establishing appropriate diagnosis emphasise the radiograph quality, because it is used as a tool in establishing diagnoses, determining treatment plans, and post-treatment evaluation. The parallel periapical technique is the best choice because they can produce radiographs with minimal distortion and more accurate linear accuracy. The purpose of this study was to observe the quality of parallel imaging radiographs in Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital. Methods: The type of research was descriptive. The study population was all radiographs with parallel techniques in 2018. The study sample was determined by the consecutive sampling method in October-December 2018, resulting in 52 samples of periapical radiographs with parallel technique. Results: There were 27 periapical radiographs (56%) with perfect assessment criteria, 22 periapical radiographs (42%) had diagnostic criteria of acceptable with several errors, and 3 periapical radiographs (6%) had poor assessment, so they were not acceptable for diagnostic use based on the National Radiological Protection Board and the fulfilment of the most quality criteria was the contrast and size distortion. Conclusion: The periapical radiographs quality with parallel techniques in Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital can be generally accepted diagnostically with the assessment of quality at rating 1, namely, the absence of errors from patient’s preparation, exposure, film holder position, and film processing, and is said to be visually perfect.Keywords: Radiograph quality, parallel periapical technique
