Dental x-rays and cancer: a review of the evidence on safety
CADTH
Record ID 32012000683
English
Authors' recommendations:
Based on data from eight case-control studies, there is a possible association between exposure to dental x-rays and meningioma, thyroid cancer, breast cancer, and pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma. This finding must be interpreted in light of the limitations of the studies and is not proof of cause and effect.
