Abstract

Background: Intraoral radiographs are believed to deliver low doses to pa ents, thus li le work has been done in this regards. Considering the increment in the number of pa ents repor ng for the examina on and the probability of delayed soma c effects for accumulated low doses of Xirradia on, it is expedient to determine the doses to three cri cal organs eye, thyroid and paro d that are at risk during exposure. Materials and Methods: Thermoluminescent dosimeters was used to measure Entrance Surfaces Doses (ESDs) to the thyroid, eye and paro ds salivary gland of 40 adult pa ents undergoing intra-oral radiographic examina on at University College Hospital, (UCH) Ibadan, Oyo state. Results: Results indicated entrance surface doses (ESD) ranged between 0. 0447 mGy to 0. 3898 mGy to the thyroid, 0. 0742 mGy to 0. 3989 mGy to eye and 0. 0467 mGy to 0. 4164 mGy to the paro ds for the period of study. The mean ESD ± SD to the thyroid, paro ds and eyes for male were 0. 1798± 0. 081, 0. 2155± 0. 109 and 0. 2197± 0. 081 mGy with the female pa ents 0. 1957± 0. 084, 0. 2091± 0. 081 and 0. 2280± 0. 113 mGy respec vely. No sta s cally significant difference was found between these means. Conclusion: The doses obtained in this study were lower than the documented threshold that could cause significant damage in the various organs, not undermining stochas c effect of radia on. This study will assist in se: ng Diagnos c Reference Level (DRL) for intraoral radiographic imaging in Nigeria.
