In general, the doses appearing during the dental examinations are relatively small, but as dental radiodiagnostics represents almost 25% of the entire radiological examinations in the European Union, some particular attention is to be paid to this kind of examination in terms of radiation protection. Article 2 of the "patients directive" stipulates that dentists are to show some skills in the field of radiation protection. In addition they need to have enjoyed a proper training, aimed at the application of techniques in the field of dental radiodiagnostics. In order to make it easier for the Member States to execute this article, the commission has decided to draw up this text, containing some clear and understandable information on the proper use of radiological equipment and film development techniques, as well as on measures for radiation protection during dental radiodiagnostics, which will be to the benefit of both the patient and the personnel. The text is drawn up on the basis of the most recent technological concepts in this field.
一般来说，牙科检查时出现的剂量相对较小，但由于牙科放射诊断几乎占欧盟全部放射检查的25%，因此在辐射防护方面需要对这类检查给予特别关注。“患者指令”第2条规定，牙医应在辐射防护领域具备一定技能。此外，他们需要接受适当的培训，旨在应用牙科放射诊断领域的技术。为了便于成员国执行本条，委员会决定起草本文件，其中包含关于放射设备和胶片冲洗技术的正确使用以及牙科放射诊断期间辐射防护措施的一些清晰易懂的信息，这将对患者和工作人员都有益处。本文是根据该领域最新的技术概念起草的。
