Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the absorbed dose and to calculate the effective dose for one periapical radiography using the portable and wall type dental X-ray machines. Materials and methods: Thermoluminescent chips were placed at 25 sites throughout the layers of the head and neck of a tissue-equivalent human skull phantom. The man phantom was exposed with the portable and wall type dental X-ray machines. For one periapical radiography taken by portable dental X-ray machine, the exposure setting was 60 kVp, 2 mA and 0.2 seconds, while for one periapical radiography taken by wall type dental X-ray machine, exposure setting was 70 kVp, 8 mA and 0.074 seconds. Absorbed dose measurements were performed and equivalent doses to individual organs were summed using ICRP 103 to calculate effective dose. Results: In the upper anterior periapical radiography using portable dental X-ray machine and in the lower posterior periapical radiography using both machines, the highest absorbed dose was recorded at the mandible body. The effective dose in upper anterior periapical radiography using portable and wall type dental X-ray machines was $4{\mu}Sv$, $2{\mu}Sv$, respectively. In the lower posterior periapical radiography, the effective dose for each portable and wall type dental X-ray machines was $6{\mu}Sv$, $2{\mu}Sv$. Conclusion: It was recommended that the operator use prudently potable dental X-ray machine because that the effective dose in the periapical radiography using wall type dental X-ray machine was lower than that in the periapical radiography using portable dental X-ray machine.

The radiation dose received by the patient varies according to the tube current and time used during dental intraoral imaging. A large amount of tube current is required for image quality, but the radiation dose to the patient increases accordingly. Therefore, in this study, the optimal amount of tube current that can reduce the radiation dose received by the patient while securing the image quality was calculated through the evaluation of the image quality according to the tube current used during intraoral imaging through simulation. The average tube current, time, and tube voltage presented in the Guidelines for Diagnostic Reference Level for intraoral radiography were used as basic imaging conditions, and images were obtained when only the tube current was changed, and then the optimal tube current was compared and analyzed with the basic image quantity was calculated. Images were obtained by changing the tube current to 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mA under the basic conditions of 63 kV, 6 mA, and 0.29 s. The obtained image was evaluated for structural similarity index with the image taken under the condition of 6 mA using the ICY program. As a result, even under the condition of 0.5 mA tube current, the index of structural similarity with the image of 6 mA was evaluated to be high. Based on these results, it is considered that the radiation dose given to the patient can be greatly reduced if imaging is performed at 0.5 mA instead of 6 mA during dental intraoral imaging.

A clinician's skills in a dental clinic are an important factor in removing the risk factors of patients. Although many universities have conducted educational programs, there has been a limitation on repeated practice because of the limited space and equipment. In dental radiography, there are various intraoral radiographic techniques. Since proficiency in radiography is an important factor in obtaining accurate radiographs, repeated practice and skill learning are important at the pre-clinical stage. However, the recent amendment of diagnostic radiation has caused difficulties in repeated practice on the human body. This study aims to develop a clinical simulator for intraoral radiography that enables repeated practice and self-directed learning without any restriction by utilizing the augmented reality technology to foster clinical skills for dental hygienist.

전남대학교 치과대학 학생을 대상으로 평행촬영법으로 촬영한 168장의 구내방사선사진을 디지털 영상으로 변환하여, 필름상의 치석 유무 판독 결과와 모니터상의 판독 결과를 비교하였다. 3명의 구강악안면방사선학 전공 치과의사가 판독을 하되 필름상의 판독 결과를 판정의 기준으로 하였다. 디지털 영상은 상업용 필름-비디오 변환장치, 486DX PC, 그리고 PcVision과 frame grabber을 이용하여 얻었다. 모니터상의 개개 구내방사선사진상은 700×480 pixel로 나타내었다. 디지털 영상의 치석진단의 sensitivity는 0.79-0.90(평균 0.86) 이었고, specificity는 0.03-0.43(평균 0.17) 이었다.

전남대학교 치과진료처에 내원한 환자의 구내방사선사진중 1단계 (Cl: 30개 병소)또는 2단계(C2: 213.8병소)의 인접면 치아우식을 가진 방사선사진 168장을 연구대상으로 하였다. 이들 방사선사진은 코닥사의 Ektaspeed(E group) 필름을 사용하여 평행촬영법으로 촬영하였다. 168장의 방사선사진에 대하여 1단계 및 2단계 치아우식증을 4명의 구강악안면방사선학을 전공한 치과의사들이 같이 판독하여 그 결과를 기록하였다. 또한 168장의 방사선사진을 필름-비디오 변환장치를 이용하여 디지털 영상으로 전환하였다. 이때 486 DX PC에 PCVision과 frame grabber를 이용하였다. 각각의 구내방사선사 진영상은 17"크기의 1280×768픽셀의 해상도를 갖는 모니터상에서 256단계 흑화도를 갖는 700×480픽셀로 제시되었다. 모니터상에서의 치아우식 판독 결과를 구내방사선사진 판독 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 sensitivity는 0.98이었다. 1단계 치아우식은 0.87, 2단계 치아우식 은 1.00의 sensitivity를 나타내었다.
