This study was conducted on 75 conventional periapical radiographs as samples stored in the Medical Record Archive Room of RSGM University of Jember with a temperature of 22°C-28°C using Air Conditioner for 24 hours, illuminated with 40 W lamp, and room humidity conditions of 40%-50%. The research data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. This study shows that the storage duration of conventional periapical radiographs affects the quality of the radiographs.
