Zusammenfassung
Eine Literaturrecherche mit den Suchbegriffen „cancer AND dental AND radiographs“ ergab 13 Veröffentlichungen, die ausgewertet wurden. Es scheint einen Zusammenhang zu geben zwischen Krebserkrankungen der Parotis, der Meningen, Leukämie und vorhergehenden zahnärztlichen Röntgenuntersuchungen. Aus diesem Grund muss die Indikation für Röntgenaufnahmen sehr eng gestellt werden.
Abstract
A literature search with the search terms “cancer AND dental AND radiographs” yielded 13 publications for exploration. Malignancies of the parotid gland, meningiomas and leukemia seem to be associated with previous dental x-ray examinations. Consequently, the indication for radiographic examination has to be very strict.
