[Oradlist] Guidelines

[Allan G Farman]

You might wish to research NCRP REport # 145 -
<http://www.ada.org/prof/resources/pubs/adanews/adanewsarticle.asp?articleid=981>
provides some information on this.

Devices used in the USA require FDA Approval - but use is controlled by
individual Revised Statutes that are specific to each individual State.

Hope this helps,
Allan G. Farman

Dear Oradlisters 
 
In the UK there is a document called Guidance notes on the safe use of
x-ray equipment which gives recommendations on intra -oral and extra
oral equipment type.  There are also European guidelines available
suggesting similar recommendations.
 
I would be grateful if anyone could give me details of other such
national/international guidelines for the US and other parts of the
world.
 
Many thanks.
 
Nicholas
