    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiology
    • Radiation Protection

    Background:

    • Dento-maxillofacial radiology involves radiation exposure, necessitating accurate dose assessment.
    • The effective dose equivalent (HE) is a key metric for quantifying radiation risk.
    • Specific focus on head and neck regions is crucial due to their sensitivity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the effective dose equivalent (HE) in dento-maxillofacial radiology.
    • To emphasize the importance of HE evaluation for organs/tissues in the head and neck region.
    • To demonstrate the application of HE estimation methods in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Estimation of risks and weighting factors for various tissues.
    • Application of the HE concept to two full-mouth survey cases.
    • Analysis of radiation dose in dento-maxillofacial radiology.

    Main Results:

    • The study provides estimates for risks and weighting factors for several head and neck tissues.
    • Demonstration of HE application in two full-mouth survey scenarios.
    • Highlights the potential for diminishing radiation exposure through extended HE concepts.

    Conclusions:

    • The extended effective dose equivalent (HE) concept is valuable for dento-maxillofacial radiology.
    • Accurate HE estimation can guide efforts to minimize radiation exposure to sensitive tissues.
    • Further research and application of these methods can enhance patient safety in dental imaging.
