Abstract

Abstract This paper questions the adequacy of orthodontists’ full appreciation of the issues associated with the routine prescription of extraoral radiography, particularly that related to a high risk of thyroid gland exposure to ionising radiation. There does not appear to be adequate application of the ALARA principle in the consideration of justifiable options to minimise the cumulative effects of radiation exposure in young patients.
