In the ever-evolving landscape of dental imaging, ensuring radiation safety remains a cornerstone of ethical and effective practice. This CE webinar explores current best practices, regulatory updates, and emerging technologies that impact radiation use in the dental field. Dental professionals will also be provided with a comprehensive review of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles, digital radiography advancements, and safety protocols tailored to modern clinical environments. A key focus will be on digital radiology, including the differences between direct and indirect digital imaging systems. Participants will examine the benefits and limitations of each approach—direct systems (such as CMOS and CCD sensors) that provide immediate image capture, and indirect systems (like PSP plates) that require scanning but offer greater flexibility in certain clinical scenarios.

During this CE webinar, we will
• Identify current radiation safety standards and regulatory guidelines applicable to dental practice in 2025, including updates from ADA, NCRP, and ICRP
• Differentiate between direct and indirect digital radiographic systems in terms of image acquisition, radiation exposure, and clinical application
• Apply ALARA principles and digital imaging best practices to minimize radiation exposure for both patients and dental staff in a modern clinical setting
