Dental radiographs require imaging of dense tissues such as bone and teeth, as well as soft tissues such as gingiva, making exposure technique challenging.
The approximate half-life of lead in blood is 25 days [2]; as a result, the window for identifying lead exposure following
dental radiographs is a few months.
When discussing X-rays and radiation, it is important to note that
dental radiographs are the images that are created when X-ray radiation passes through the mouth and strikes a film or digital sensor (these images are often called X-rays for shorthand).
Dental hygienists can have a role during PM dental evidence collection through exposing
dental radiographs, taking photographs, surgical assisting, cleaning victim remains of debris, charting examination observations, and cross-checking for quality assurance.

At one time
dental radiographs were used for the age determination of child asylum seekers in order to prove that they were not adults.
To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that practice characteristics are significantly associated with receipt of
dental radiographs.
The focus of this research study is on commonly encountered stimuli during routine dental visits such as personal protective equipment, hand and power-driven instruments,
dental radiographs, needles, air and water spray, and suction.
This involves a careful examination and
dental radiographs, often taken by portable X-ray machines.
This may include taking some
dental radiographs (X-rays) to look for root problems and abscesses.
Respondents were evenly split on whether pregnant women could safely receive
dental radiographs, although the knowledge about the safety of
dental radiographs was also positively associated with years since degree (r=0.
