Desenvolvimento de protetor de tireóide para uso em radiologia odontológico

Abstract

Due to the great importance of radiation protection in dental services, this paper aims to develop a thyroid collar from reusing plates plumbíferas contained in dental periapical radiographic lms. Addressing the need for radiological protection and its fundamental principles, as well as the forms of radiological services that are common in conventional X-ray, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and dentistry. Finally, note that the guard had developed satisfactory result which is extremely important in order to be elevated to radioprotection, so that they can perform the procedures correctly, the bene t of society without risks to the health of the public, patient and himself professional radiology. So the tests showed the protective e cacy regarding attenuation of radiation from dental X-rays at the time of examination. Noting that the thyroid collar plumbiferous showed attenuation satisfactory for primary and secondary beam, making it adequate for use in dentistry.
