Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the evaluation of radiation protection principles observance in dental radiography centers and hazards. This cross-sectional study was designed to assess level of radiation protection principles in dentistry centers. The present cross-sectional study was conducted by enrolling 103 dentistry centers in Kermanshah province (west of Iran). Our finding illustrates 75.7% of the centers were equipped with an intraoral radiography. Although observance principles of radiation protection for patient at dentistry center were at appropriate level (97.3%), the observance of the protective principles was not adequate for the skilled workers in any center. The most commonly used protective measure was the observance of a distance from patient (97.3%) and the minimum protective measures such as the use of high-speed film (1.4%). According to results in this study, the knowledge and practice of radiation protection are not satisfactory.

摘要

本研究旨在评估牙科放射摄影中心辐射防护原则的遵守情况和危害。这项横断面研究旨在评估牙科中心辐射防护原则的水平。本横断面研究共纳入伊朗西部克尔曼沙阿省的 103 个牙科中心。我们的研究结果表明，75.7%的中心配备了口腔内放射摄影设备。尽管牙科中心对患者的辐射防护原则遵守情况处于适当水平（97.3%），但在任何中心，对熟练工人的防护原则遵守情况都不够充分。最常用的防护措施是遵守与患者的距离（97.3%），以及使用高速胶片等最低限度的防护措施（1.4%）。根据本研究的结果，辐射防护的知识和实践并不令人满意。
