The use of X-rays plays an essential role in the diagnosis and planning of dental treatments. Technological advances in X-ray equipment have contributed to the increased use of this type of radiation in dental practice. Although radiation exposure is low in these procedures, there is still a risk. The reduction of the risk to the minimum value possible is necessary to obtain an adequate image for the diagnosis and avoiding harmful effects on the patient and the personnel involved. Due to the high and growing number of dental X-rays, the fact that children and adolescents are the focus of most of them, the underestimation of the number of radiological examinations reported and the supposed low awareness of dental students and
professionals about the dangers the indiscriminate use of X-rays, it is necessary to adopt radioprotection measures to mitigate the risk of harmful radioinduced effects. This article aims to review the basic principles of radioprotection to be considered in dental radiology, in order to ensure the least possible damage to occupationally exposed workers, patients and public members.
