A total of 131 units, both digital (semiconductorbased) and analog (film-based) radiography systems, were selected for the study. The third quartile values, for the six intraoral examinations selected for the present study, ranged from 1.2 to 2.0 mGy, for the adult settings. The results showed a wide range of patient doses existing across the clinics or hospitals studied. This is the primary study for the establishment of adult intraoral DRL, in Tamil Nadu, one of the major states of the country. Similar studies will be undertaken in other major states across the country to establish national DRLs in intraoral radiography in the country.

The objective of this study is to investigate pediatric and adult doses in different Dental Radiology modalities. It is also part of technical projects struc-tured by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to evaluate and monitor patient radiation doses. In UAE dental centers, 85% of dental radiology units in operation are digital system. Total number of dental units involved in this survey is 122 Intra-Oral dental units and 16 Panoramic (OPG) dental units.
