Study Notes

Exposure Factors for Dental Imaging

Operators should have exposure charts readily available for reference, even if they know the factors by heart.
Exposure charts are commercial or custom-made and should be posted at the x-ray unit control panel.
In some regions, regulations mandate the posting of exposure charts.
Exposure charts provide visual reference of exposure times for film or digital sensors at various combinations of exposure time, MA, and kVp.
Some dental x-ray machine manufacturers have built-in exposure factors for routine procedures.
With these machines, operators only need to set the desired region on the control panel dial, and the unit automatically sets the required exposure factors.
