S3 056 – Radiation protection during periapical radiography

How do you protect yourself from radiation when taking a periapical radiograph?

Translated version of the Turkish original

The exposure switch is outside the room, and we ventilate the room frequently. When setting up the clinic, if a Cat6 cable is run from the intended location of the periapical X-ray unit to outside, you can trigger the exposure with an external button.
