In dental field, imaging practices
(retro alveolar, dental panoramic, teleradiography, scanning, etc.)
require the dosimetric monitoring of persons performing these acts. Most
often, this monitoring is done using a "chest" dosimeter changed every
quarter. Some workplace studies show that a monthly "chest" dosimeter is
required. Maintenance of the detector (film or digital) by the operator
can generate doses to the fingers such that a monitoring of the ends
with a ring dosimeter could be advised. The environmental dosimeter (s)
is also recommended for measuring the ambient dose in working areas in
accordance with the regulations and the standards in force.
