| Abstract (English): | Objective: To contribute in an informative and critical way to the promotion of controlled use of X-ray during dental consulting and dental care. Introduction: The practice of dentistry as a health care service requires the use of complementary tools for proper diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in patients with different clinical conditions. For that reason, the use of x-ray by dentists is common and very useful, but it involves radiation exposure to the patient and the dental professional or dental student. Although, often people do not pay attention to this exposition in regard to biological effects, because they are considered too low to generate significant biological effects. Conclusion: It is necessary to consider the risk of accumulative doses for constant exposure in dentist and dental students. Moreover, in patients, because a synergism with other radiations can occur, they can be exposed because of the attention in other areas of health. For these reasons, it is necessary to promote awareness and knowledge on basic aspects of the controlled use of X-ray in the dental care, being also aware of the need to strengthen the knowledge of the basics aspects that lead to decreased risk of biological effects from its proper use in the dental care.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo: Contribuir de manera informativa y critica con la promocion del uso controlado de los rayos X durante la practica odontologica. Introducciуn: El ejercicio de la practica odontologica como servicio de atencion en salud requiere del uso de herramientas complementarias para el adecuado diagnostico, tratamiento y seguimiento en pacientes ante diferentes condiciones clinicas. Por lo cual, el uso de radiografias por odontologos es frecuente y de mucha utilidad; sin embargo, la exposicion continua a radiaciones por parte del paciente y el profesional o estudiante del area odontologica implica un riesgo para la salud, aunque muchas veces se le resta importancia a esta exposicion en lo referente a efectos visibles para la salud, por considerarse que son dosis muy bajas como para generar efectos biologicos significativos. Conclusiуn: En profesionales y estudiantes de odontologia, es necesario considerar el riesgo de dosis acumulativas por exposicion continua y, en pacientes, hay la posibilidad de sinergismo con otras radiaciones, a las cuales se pueden exponer por atencion en otras areas de la salud. Por esto se hace necesario promover el uso adecuado de los rayos X por el personal de la salud, siendo conscientes de la necesidad de afianzar el conocimiento sobre los aspectos basicos que conllevan a la disminucion del riesgo de efectos biologicos a partir de su uso adecuado en la atencion odontologica.
