Abstract

Panoramagraphy was the second most used intraoral radiography utilized in Korea, resulting in 17.8% in university dental hospitals, 24.8% in dental hospitals, and 31.4% in dental clinics. Depending on increased demand like orthodontics and implant, panoromagraphy tends to consistently increase. This study were used lead glasses and lead shielding to reduce unnecessary radiation to the eyeballs and thyroid. ESD was 41.4% when radiation was shielded with the lead glasses while reducing 47.3% of ESD by shielding the X-ray tube area with shielding lead. There was no statistically significant difference. The lead glasses is appropriated to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to the eyeballs.

한국에서의 파노라마장치의 사용비율은 치과대학병원에서 17.8%, 치과병원에서 24.8%, 치과의원에서 31.4%로 구내촬영장치 다음으로 많이 사용하고 있는 검사 방법으로, 치아교정 및 인플란트 등의 수요증가에 따라 파노라마 검사는 지속적으로 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 파노라마 검사에 불필요한 안구와 갑상선부위의 선량을 감소시키기 위해 납안경 및 납차폐체를 이용해 보았으며, 납안경으로 차폐를 한 경우 안구의 ESD가 41.4% 감소되었으며, X선관 부위 쪽을 차폐납으로 차폐할 경우에는 ESD의 47.3%를 감소시킬 수 있음을 알게 되었다. eyeball의 불필요한 선량저감을 위하여 임상에서는 lead glass를 사용하는 방법이 있으며, 제조사에서는 eyeball부위 피폭을 줄일 수 있는 제어장치를 적극 활용할 필요성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
