The American Dental Association (ADA) has updated its dental X-ray safety guidelines, eliminating the need for lead aprons and thyroid collars. Modern digital X-ray equipment and techniques like rectangular collimation provide better protection by restricting the beam size to the targeted area. These changes aim to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure, which can occur when protective gear obstructs the primary X-ray beam, potentially requiring additional radiographs. The guidelines emphasize using digital imaging over film, proper patient positioning, and using CBCT only when necessary. Dental professionals must adhere to all applicable regulations and implement radiation safety programs​
