Although the dose supplied by dental X-ray units is quite low and
distributed on a fairly small surface, the operator must adopt the
precautions and/or suitable protection for the patient and himself,
during the execution of radiography. It is advisable to control the X-ray
emission from a protected area, by means of a remote control. If it is
necessary to operate near the patient, stay as far as the remote control
cable allows, or at least 1.5m (4.9 ft) both from the X-ray source and from
the patient, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
