Assuming that the patient received five radiographic images over a 6-month period, the maximum radiation dose at the cortical bone-titanium interface was estimated to be less than 20 mGy (0.02 Gy).
In digital dental radiography, a 60-65 kVp spectrum accompanied by the known 30% reduction in mAs leads to lower dose to the patient for a diagnostically useful image.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
