Abstract

Objective: to test the quality control of intraoral dental X-ray devices in private practices in the Federal District, city of Gama. Method: the diameters of the radiation fields of these devices were measured, thus preventing the patient from being exposed to a radiation field larger than that recommended by ANVISA/RDC 330. Results: The results of each x-ray machine evaluated were studied, for this purpose a simulator artifact was created to measure and enable the evaluation of the diameter of the radiation field of dental x-rays, where it was possible to measure the radiation field of each device to know if they are consistent with that recommended by RDC/330. A linear regression analysis was performed to calculate the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.0046) to demonstrate the differences in the diameters of the radiation field. Conclusion: This study suggests further investigations to improve and validate this x-ray simulation artifact.
