In most dental clinics there are 15 that serve to obtain images of the inside of the mouth<\/strong> to analyze whether everything is correct or not. The radiation<\/strong> used for this is usually so small that it is not harmful, although one should not be too confident. It is essential to have a machine that radiates only what is strictly necessary but at the same time generates images of the highest quality.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what does that mean, only the necessary? We are going to explain it to you and, in passing, we present you with a scanner that is just the one that complies with the perfect radiation and quality standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dangers of excessive radiation<\/span><\/h2>\n

To make you aware of how dangerous radiation is if it is not applied with fair doses, we first summarize what\u00a0<\/span>risk<\/span><\/strong>s<\/strong> it has for the health of your patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

The effects of radiation are very destructive to any living tissue and can alter DNA<\/strong>, causing cell suicide, random cell division, cell latency and even the formation of a cancerous tumor. If it affects the red blood cells, anemia can occur, while if the white blood cells are altered, the immune system is put at risk. The bone marrow and reproductive system are also susceptible to being affected if they are fully impacted by radiation.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the effective x-ray dose?<\/span><\/h2>\n

As<\/span> Morita explains in its FAQ<\/a>, the effective dose is the one that takes into account the risk of disease when exposing an organ to radiation<\/strong>. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is one of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) advisors in charge of giving recommendations on what the effective dose is, although it is not something that can be easily measured.<\/span><\/p>\n

The effective dose is not an absolute amount of radiation, but an index that is evaluated as causing radiation-induced damage throughout the body, including future effects such as the occurrence of cancer. This index varies according to age, physique, or the position between the radiation field and the area of the body exposed by X-rays, among other things. Therefore, it is only possible to make an estimate<\/strong> of what the effective radiation dose is.<\/span><\/p>\n

The perfect scanner<\/span><\/h2>\n

When choosing a scanner that meets the radiation parameters, it is important to know the brand. Morita<\/strong> is one of those companies that make an estimate of the effective X-ray dose based on various parameters to guarantee maximum patient safety. An example of this is its Veraview X800<\/strong> scanner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Veraview X800 diagnostic system generates absolutely clear images with a reduced radiation dose<\/strong>, something that until recently seemed difficult to achieve. It includes eleven different exposure volumes that always guarantee the lowest dose with the best image quality and minimum exposure of peripheral areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we are not all the same, the scanner adapts to the height of each person and even to the dental arch<\/strong>. It is also perfect for children<\/strong> thanks to its adjustment for 2D X-rays and the reduction of the radiation time of the desired area.<\/span><\/p>\n
