Abstract

.This document aims to support the dental professional in choosing the adequate diagnostic technique, minimising the radiation dose in observance of the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle (7). This principle states that the biological cost can only be justifed when the beneft, that is, the diagnosis, outweighs the risk related to radiation exposure. In this guideline paper, we report recommendations for radiologists, medical physicists, paediatrician, dentists and maxillofacial surgeons, with reference to the specifc felds. The diagnostic techniques considered in this paper are intraoral X-ray, orthopantomography (OPT), cephalometric (Ceph) x-ray and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This work considers the Methodological Manual for National Guidelines System (2011), titled “How to produce, spread, and update Public Health Guidelines”.
