Dear Colleagues,

 

If possible, I would like to find out how many schools are using
portable handheld intraoral x-ray machines.

 

In particular:

 

1.                   Does your school use this type of x-ray machine?

 

2.                   Is it used throughout the school, or only in
selected clinics (Radiology, Emergency Clinic, Endodontics, etc.)

 

3.                   Who is allowed to use the machine (undergraduate
dental students, graduate students, faculty)

 

4.                   Are there any restrictions placed on the use of the
machine?

 

 

Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you.
