Abstract

The nationwide survey in the frequency of dental radiography and the exposure factors was carried out with the cooperation of dental clinics, dental departments of general hospitals, and dental colleges of whole Japan in 1987.
The total number of dental radiography in Japan was estimated.
The results were as follows:
1. Dental x-ray units were used under the condition of 60kV and 10mA at almost all of dental clinics.
2. More than 85% of the dental x-ray units surveyed had open-end cylindrical cones.
3. The total number of intra-oral radiography taken in whole Japan was estimated to be about 9100×104 and panoramic radiography was about 1140×104 in 1987.
