Özet

Dental radiology is essential for oral diagnosois and treatment planning. During past decades panoramic radiography became the most commonly used radiologic method besides intra oral radiography. In recent years cone beam computed tomography became widespread depending many advantages. On the other hand, ionizing radiation causes damage such as genotoxicity or cytotoxicity on oral mucosal cells is an uncommon knowledge althouh it is well-known that it has some biological effects on living tissues. Therefore, outlining the cytogenetic effects induced by X-ray is necessary to minimize potential risks to patients and clinicians. The objective of this review is to raise an awareness about induced DNA damage and cytotoxicity in oral mucosal cells following dental X-ray exposure. Such data will provide better safety for both patients and dental professionals.
