Harmful Effects

The increased awareness of the possible harmful effects of ionizing radiation has resulted in concern at the number of panoramic radiographs taken in General Dental Practice. A study has been carried out to examine the diagnostic value obtained from panoramic radiographs taken at 9–10 years of age. Nine-hundred and-eighty-two radiographs were examined and 261 (26·5 per cent) showed findings which would be of significance in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.

Radiation Exposure To Patients

ABSTRACT Radiation is the transmission of energy through space and matter. There are several forms of radiation, including ionizing and nonionizing. X-rays are the ionizing radiation used extensively in medical and dental practice. Even though they provide useful information and aid in diagnosis, they also have the potential to cause harmful effects. In dentistry, it is mainly used for diagnostic purposes and in a dental set-up usually the practicing dentist exposes, processes and interprets the radiograph. Even though such exposure is less, it is critical to reduce the exposure to the dental personnel and patients in order to prevent the harmful effects of radiation. Several radiation protection measures have been advocated to ameliorate these effects. A survey conducted in the Bengaluru among practicing dentists revealed that radiation protection awareness was very low and the necessary measures taken to reduce the exposure were not adequate. The aim of the article is to review important parameters that must be taken into consideration in the clinical set-up to reduce radiation exposure to patients and dental personnel.

The validity of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning depends on the accuracy of the photos, models and radiograps to be obtained from the patient. One of the most important parts of diagnosis and treatment planning is the use of appropriate imaging method. Although lateral cephalometric radiographs are still the most preferred imaging method, other methods such as hand-wrist radiographs, panoramic radiographs, cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound are also frequently used. For this reason, it is important to know the advantages and disadvantages of all imaging methods for orthodontists in order to select the most suitable method for the patient.
