Date Time ADA and ARPANSA release jointly created dental radiography factsheet The Australian Dental Association and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency have joined together to produce a patient-centric resource that explains different types of X-rays and radiation exposure. The two-page information sheet focuses on educating patients about dental radiation safety, outlining the main forms of dental radiography including bite wings, peri-apical, panoramic, and lateral cephalometric x-rays as well as cone beam computer tomography.
