Abstract
Description
Under Section 11(2) of Statutory Instrument 478 of 2002 “The European Communities (Medical Ionising Radiation) Regulations” the Dental Council is required to establish written protocols for every type of standard radiological practice.
Individual doses in basic dental radiography (intra-oral, panoramic and cephalometric) are low, being equivalent to those associated with a few days of background radiation. The Council recognizes that the individual risks in dental radiography are small but are greater in the younger age groups. To meet its requirement under the regulations the Dental Council has approved the following protocol in relation to intra-oral, panoramic and cephalometric radiological practice.
