Abstract:Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the interns for their understanding of the importance of radiology and its judicious use.
Methods: The study was carried out with 16 pretested questions which were closed ended. The study was conducted among the trainee dentists who were pursuing internship. The duration of the study was 2 weeks. A total of 115 trainee dentists participated, 90 females and 25 males. The data obtained was fed into Microsoft Excel (Redmond WA). The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS Version 17 to check for statistical significance.

Introduction:

Dental Imaging is an integral part of clinical dentistry. As a result, radiographs are often referred to as the clinician's main diagnostic aid. However it carries a potential harm and the exposure to dental radiation should be minimized where practicable.[1] X-rays are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. They can penetrate the human tissues. When X-rays strike matter such as a patient's tissues, the photons can completely be scattered with no loss of energy or can be absorbed with total loss of energy or scattered with some absorption and loss of energy or can be transmitted unchanged.

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended that all patient exposure must be justified and kept as low as possible. So it is a mandatory to follow ALARA principle “As Low As Reasonably Achievable” during dentist routine work.[2,3] This principle was adopted to minimize radiation dose. In general, ALARA principle takes into consideration the justification for the radiological study and taking the imaging examination with the least amount of radiation that can produce radiographs of reasonable diagnostic quality. As a result radiographs should only be taken at the minimum dosage with reasonable information yield in as much as a safer method is not available.[4] Consequently operators of radiographic equipment should be thoroughly familiar with radiation safety practices and radiation regulations to protect themselves, their colleagues and the patients.

The effects of x-rays are harmful to living tissues and it is sufficiently intense and detrimental to cause cancer, leukemia and genetic damage.[5,6] These biological effects can be divided into Deterministic and stochastic effects.[3] Deterministic effects are those effects in which the severity of the response is proportional to the dose. These effects occur in all people when the dose is large enough.[7] Stochastic effects are those for which the probability of occurrence of the change, rather than its severity, is dose dependent.[3] The stochastic effects thus lay the patient’s and the operating personals in a high risk zone as it does not have dose thresholds.[3] Thus, dental radiographs should be only prescribed for patients when the benefit of disease detection outweighs the risk of damage from X-rays.[8] Thus reducing the radiation dose should be an important consideration for dental professionals.[9] In order to reduce patient’s exposure to radiation, appropriate use of a lead apron, thyroid collar, right collimation and suitable technique are included in the practice of radiologic examination. Every radiographic exposure to the patient should be clinically justified and each exposure should be expected to give the benefit of a confirmed diagnosis.[10]

                  This study focuses on the awareness level about radiation protection among trainee dentists. The aim of this study was to test the trainee dentists about their understanding of the importance of radiology and its judicious use. The study was carried out with 16 pretested questions which were closed ended.[12]

Materials and Methods:

A self formulated printed questionnaire consisting of 16 multiple choice questions was circulated among the trainee dentists and their responses were received. Only those dental students who were pursuing internship were included in this study. The duration of the study was 2 weeks. A total of 115 trainee dentists participated in the study of which 90 were females and 25 males.

Statistical Methods:

The data obtained was fed into Microsoft Excel (Redmond WA). The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS Version 17 to check for statistical significance.

Results:

The study was conducted among the trainee dentists who were pursuing internship. The duration of the study was 2 weeks. A total of 115 trainee dentists participated of which 90 were females and 25 males.  The results are comprehensively presented in observation table and also in graph.

Discussion:

Our study shows that 33.9% of the respondents, get exposed to radiation several times in a month, during clinical posting. 35.7% percent respondents feel that the importance of imaging in dentistry is high. When questioned about various methods to protect the patient from radiation exposure, majority (62.6%) responded as lead aprons, shields and time of exposure, which correlates with the study done in Chennai.[12] Our study reveals thyroid is the organ to be protected during radiologic exposure as responded by 53.9% of the participants, which correlates with the study done in Chennai.[12] 36.5% responded that, 6.0 REM/year, is maximum permissible dose for occupationally exposed persons, while, 33% responded 2.0rems/year as the maximum permissible dose for non-occupationally exposed persons. 40.9% respondents opined that the greatest risk of radiation induced thyroid cancers is above 30 years of age.

33% participants responded that, rectangular PID is best and another 33% participants responded that, round PID is best. 39.1%participants responded that E films cause 60% reduction in radiation as compared to D films. 40% participants responded that, 6 months is the minimum duration of exposure, for the usage of personnel monitoring device. For the question regarding the holding of film during exposure, 54.8% responded in the negative, which reduces unnecessary radiation exposure, which correlates with the study done in Vikarabad, Telangana, India.[11] When asked about the holding of radiographic tube during exposure, majority (62.6%) of the respondents of our study replied in the negative. 39.1% participants replied that radiographs can be taken for pregnant patients only after weighing risk benefit ratio. According to 46.1% participants, radiographs can be taken for a pregnant patients in 2nd trimester. It can be seen from the above histogram that, majority of the respondents (67.8%) of the study follow the position and distance rule and hence reduce their risk of radiation exposure significantly. 44.3% replied that X ray room can be made safe by lead walls and walls constructed of gypsum wallboard. 

Analysis of subjective questions of our study (Question numbers 1, 2, 3, 11, 12 and 15) indicates fairly good understanding of radiation protection protocols. However, analyzing the response to objective questions (Question numbers 4, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10, 13, 14 and 16 of our study), only 293 correct responses were received against 1150 maximum possible, which indicates that level of awareness of radiation protection is fairly low among intern dentists. To help them in minimizing the exposure to the dental fraternity or patients with focus on welfare of the patients we emphasize continual education programs at regular intervals at institutional level and national level for strict observance of various radiographic protection guidelines.[11]

Conclusion:

Based on our study, it can be concluded that, the intern dentists have a satisfactory knowledge of radiation protection methods. However, in order to improve further, continuing education programmes, at regular intervals are necessary to keep them updated about radiation protection protocols.
