X-ray Imaging

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Biological Effects of Radiation

Biological Effects of Radiation

All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Summary

This review examines dental dosimeters and study results. Modern dental radiography significantly lowers radiation exposure, making technique selection crucial for dose management.

Area of Science:

Dental Radiology
Radiation Dosimetry

Background:

Dosimeters are essential for measuring radiation doses in various applications.
Accurate dosimetry is critical in dentistry to minimize patient exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

To review dosimeters utilized in dentistry.
To synthesize findings from studies employing various dosimeters in dental applications.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed for articles published between 1999 and 2013.
Keywords included "dosimeters," "dosimeters in dentistry," and "dental dosimetry."
Selected articles were categorized into biological effects, dosimeter properties, types, and study results.

Main Results:

The review highlights diverse dosimeter types and their properties relevant to dental settings.

Studies indicate that advancements in radiographic techniques have led to reduced effective doses.

Conclusions:

The effective radiation dose in modern dental radiography is generally low.
The choice of radiological technique is a key factor in determining dental dose delivery.
