OBJECTIVES
To investigate dentists' perceptions and attitudes regarding radiation safety in dental practices in Korea.
METHODS
207 dentists participated in this study. An anonymous survey was conducted regarding the following areas: years of practice, characteristics of the radiography equipment, knowledge of diagnostic reference levels, prescription of dental radiographs, use of radiation protection procedures and participation in the radiation safety program. Data were evaluated according to frequency distribution; the χ test; and Fisher's exact test, which was used to investigate statistical significances (p < 0.05) between those with less than 10 years of experience in practice vs those with 10 years of experience or more.
RESULTS
Approximately 83% of the dentists who responded to our survey participated in the radiation safety program, but only 58% were satisfied with it. There were statistically significant differences in the installation of X-ray units, learning pathway of diagnostic reference levels, prescription of dental radiography for new adult patients, use of personnel radiation monitoring systems and participation in the radiation safety program between those with less than 10 years of experience in practice vs those with 10 years of experience or more (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Dentists with less than 10 years of experience were less attentive to radiation protection procedures. Therefore, taking both the duration of experience of dentists and the installed X-ray equipment into consideration, continuous and efficient education for both dental workers and patients regarding radiation safety and protection is recommended.
目的
调查韩国牙科医生对牙科实践中辐射安全的认知和态度。
方法
共有 207 名牙医参与了这项研究。我们就以下方面进行了一项匿名调查：从业年限、射线设备特点、诊断参考水平知识、牙科射线照片的开具、辐射防护程序的使用以及参与辐射安全计划的情况。我们根据频率分布、卡方检验和 Fisher 确切检验对数据进行了评估，Fisher 确切检验用于调查具有 10 年或以上从业经验的医生与少于 10 年从业经验的医生之间的统计学差异（p < 0.05）。
结果
大约 83% 参与我们调查的牙医参加了辐射安全计划，但只有 58% 的人对该计划表示满意。在射线设备安装、诊断参考水平学习途径、新成年患者牙科射线照片开具、人员辐射监测系统使用和辐射安全计划参与方面，具有少于 10 年从业经验的医生与具有 10 年或以上从业经验的医生之间存在统计学差异（p < 0.05）。
结论
从业经验不足 10 年的牙医对辐射防护程序的关注度较低。因此，建议在考虑牙医从业年限和安装的 X 射线设备的基础上，针对辐射安全和防护问题，对牙科工作人员和患者进行持续、有效的教育。
