3.2 Protection against radiation
Although the dose supplied by dental X-ray units is quite low and distributed on a fairly
small surface, the operator must adopt precautions and/or suitable protection for the
patient and himself, during radiography.
Warning
Protection against radiation is regulated according to law.
The equipment may only be used by specialised personnel.
It is advisable to control the X-ray emission from a protected area, by remote control. If
it is necessary to operate near the patient, stay as far as the remote control cable allows,
or at least 2 m both from the X-ray source and from the patient, as shown in the following
figure.
