Many types of radiographs can help dentists in making diagnoses according to their indications, both intra-oral and extra-oral. The conventional X-ray photo technique requires a fixer solution as one of the stages in performing a process that serves to dissolve and inhibit the development of silver halide crystals in the emulsion process. Fixer solutions contain four components dissolved in water, namely the clearing agent, acidifier, preservative and hardener. The aim of the study was to determine the amount of silver contained in the fixer solution after fixing the occlusal film and periapical film using the electrolysis method. Method: was a laboratory experimental study, with a post-test study design. Results: showed that the occlusal film dissolved 6.0 grams while the periapical film dissolved 0.6 grams of silver in the fixer solution. Based on the results of the independent t test, p = 0,000 <0,05 was obtained. Conclusion: of the study was that there was a significant difference in the amount of silver from the fixer after fixing the occlusal film and periapical film using the electrolysis method. 5 15 2021 7 8 10.31254/dentistry.2021.6103 http://www.dentistryscience.com/IJDR_202161_03.pdf
