The aim of the present study was to evaluate types and frequencies of radiographic screening examinations, and radiographic equipment and film used in general dental practice in Denmark. A questionnaire was mailed to 400 randomly selected dental practitioners. A total of 258 questionnaires were returned, out of which 249 were analyzed. Two-thirds of the respondents performed radiographic screening examinations, of which bitewing-screening was the one most frequently used for first-visit and regular patients. The more recent their graduation year, the more apt were dentists to perform radiographic screening examinations. More than 40% of the dentists had radiographic units operating at a voltage capacity of 60-70 kV, and more than 50% had facilities for automatic or semiautomatic processing. Only one-quarter of the respondents used the Kodak Ektaspeed film (E-speed film). The results show that radiographic procedures and film used in general dental practice are not always in accordance with guidelines and recommendations.
本研究的目的是评估丹麦普通牙科诊所中放射检查的类型和频率，以及所使用的放射设备和胶片。向400名随机挑选的牙科医生邮寄了一份调查问卷。共收回258份问卷，其中249份进行了分析。三分之二的受访者进行放射检查，其中咬合翼片检查是首次就诊患者和常规患者最常使用的检查方法。毕业年份越近，牙医进行放射检查的可能性就越大。超过40%的牙医拥有电压容量为60 - 70 kV的放射设备，超过50%的牙医有自动或半自动冲洗设备。只有四分之一的受访者使用柯达Ektaspeed胶片（E速胶片）。结果表明，普通牙科诊所中使用的放射程序和胶片并不总是符合指南和建议。
