- Abstract:
- Imaging methods are now an essential component in almost all medical fields, especially for individualized medicine. By means of various invasive and non-invasive devices, 2- or 3-dimensional imaging is usually indispensable for diagnostics, if applicable in combination with functional parameters. In dentistry and orthodontics, 2-dimensional, specially X-ray-based, imaging methods are being added to cross-sectional image diagnostics with increasing frequency, especially the "Cone Beam Computed Tomography" (CBCT). The majority of orthodontic patients are children, here the basic principle "Children are not little adults" applies. In particular, the anatomical, metabolic and functional conditions in children differ seriously-from adults so that they are significantly more sensitive to radiation. This article demonstrates the basics of the effects of radiation on human beings and includes the different dose levels of typical dental and orthodontic imaging methods as well as the necessary radiation protection measures, with special attentiveness to children.
