Abstract :
he use of radiation in the medical practice
has evolved since its beginning and
30% to 50% of medical decisions are affected
by radiologic examinations.1 However,
the hazards of ionizing radiation are irrefutable.
1 Dental radiography represents one of the
most frequently used radiologic examinations
in the industrialized world.2 This type of radiography
stands for 25% of the radiologic examinations
performed in the European Union.3
It means that the dose to the population as a
whole is considerable. Therefore, some particular
attention should be paid to radiation
safety.
