What are typical staff dose levels in dental radiology?
Employees performing dental radiography should not normally receive significant radiation dose provided normal radiation protection measures are employed, such as distance and shielding. A report from UK estimates a mean level of less than 0.1 mSv per year, in the practice conditions that prevail there [NRPB 263]. In the USA the mean dose received by dental workers is reported to be 0.2 mSv [NCRP 107].
