In this study, an intra oral dental unit (Siemens-70) at King Abdul Aziz University (KAU) Dental Hospital was selected and investigated for visual image quality assessment and radiation protection purposes. Radiation dosimetry for determining the optimum image quality with the lowest radiation exposure to the patient was carried out. A DXTTR dental radiography trainer phantom head and neck, portable survey meter Model RAD EYE-B20, and radiation dosimetry system RADCAL Acuu-pro were used in this study. RADCAL Accu-pro is a non-invasive kV system, reliable instruments to measure and diagnose all X-ray machines including dental units. The radiation exposure to patients in (mGy) was measured using RADCAL ionization chamber Model 10×6-6. The best image quality with the lowest exposure dose was assessed for conventional intraoral X-ray film (Kodak type E) and the digital processing sensor (RVG 5200). Radiation survey level was done during this study for safety and protection purposes.
