The ALARA Principal — As low as reasonably achievable

Image quality and radiation exposure matter.

Every inaccurate image requires a retake and the more images retaken, the more the clinician and the patient are exposed to ionizing radiation. Your goal is to capture diagnostically acceptable intraoral images in a single, well-executed take, maximizing patient comfort and safety while minimizing chair time.

The most common reasons for intraoral radiography retakes are due to improper positioning, angulation, and media placement.1

Patient Safety

Diagnostic confidence makes a difference to the well-being of patients and the health of the dental practice. With the right tools and training, you can enhance the positioning and quality of diagnostic intraoral images while minimizing the risk.

Patient Safety and Comfort

The need for clear, diagnostically acceptable images should never supplant every clinician’s first principle: do no harm. That means keeping radiation exposure for your staff and patients as low as reasonably achievable: the ALARA principle.

Tips and Education for Better Intraoral Imaging

The goal of dental radiology is to obtain high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure and keeping every patient as comfortable as possible.

Consider how these tips may assist in challenging situations.

PARALLELING VS BISECTING

  • Know what to choose based on anatomical challenge.
  • The paralleling technique using aiming devices is recommended for fewer errors and retakes.
  • The bisecting angle technique using media holders are recommended for patients with anatomical challenges, and during endodontic and implant procedures.

SENSOR SELECTION

  • Use the largest sensor possible to obtain maximum information.
  • Have a protocol in place for when to switch to a smaller sensor.

GENERAL SENSOR POSITIONING

  • Place in the center of the mouth for the paralleling technique.
  • Use cotton rolls, especially in vertical positions and edentulous areas.

SENSOR POSITIONING FOR BITEWINGS

  • Place the sensor parallel to the teeth.
  • Use the indicator slot to align with interproximal spaces on bitewings.
  • Align the central beam through the contact areas.
  • Adjust vertical angulation on bitewings to capture adequate bone levels.
  • With premolar bitewings, to capture the distal of the canine, adjust the media approximately 15 degress distomesial.
