A dental X-ray machine is a device used in dentistry to capture images of a patient’s teeth, gums, and other oral structures. These machines use X-rays to create detailed images that can help dentists diagnose dental problems and plan treatments.
Dental X-ray machines typically consist of a control panel, an X-ray tube, and a flexible arm that holds the X-ray sensor or film. The control panel allows the operator to adjust the settings of the X-ray machine, such as the duration and intensity of the X-ray exposure. The X-ray tube emits the X-rays, which pass through the patient’s mouth and are captured by the sensor or film.
Dental X-ray machines are available in several different types, including intra oral, panoramic, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) machines. Intraoral X-ray machines capture images of individual teeth or small sections of the mouth, while panoramic machines capture images of the entire mouth in a single image. CBCT machines are used to capture detailed 3D images of the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures.
Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidelines stipulate that an annual dental X-ray service is required, which typically includes a mechanical and electrical check, followed by certification that confirms the equipment as safe and effective.
In the UK, annual servicing and the certification for X-ray equipment is performed by authorised organisations to ensure that the equipment meets safety and performance standards. In addition, critical examinations must be undertaken based on specific guidelines.
Separate to servicing, and following Ionising Radiation Medical Exposure Regulations (IRMER) and Ionising Radiations Regulations (IRR17), a critical exam must be undertaken under the following schedule:
· Wall mounted intra oral X-ray units and OPG units with or without CEPH software – at least once every 3 years, or any time a major component is changed, or the machine is relocated.
· Handheld intra oral devices – once a year.
· CBCT units – once a year or any time a major component is changed. The annual check can be extended to once every 3 years if practices carry out their own quality assurance checks.
The certification process is designed to ensure that dental X-ray equipment is safe to use and produces accurate, high-quality images. The steps involved in certification for dental X-ray equipment include:
· Pre-inspection: A Hague Dental certified engineer will assess the equipment and the location in which it will be used to ensure that it meets all of the necessary safety and performance standards.
· Testing: The X-ray equipment is subjected to a range of tests to ensure that it is functioning properly, producing accurate images, and meeting all of the relevant safety standards.
· Evaluation and Certification: The engineer will evaluate the results of the tests and determine whether the X-ray equipment meets the necessary standards for certification. If the X-ray equipment passes the evaluation, Hague Dental will issue a certificate of compliance, which indicates that the equipment has been certified as safe and effective.
· Annual Service: Hague Dental engineers can perform the annual service to ensure that the X-ray equipment continues to meet the necessary standards, and the equipment may need to be re-certified at regular intervals.
It is important to have dental X-ray equipment serviced and certified by an authorised organisation to ensure that it is safe and effective. This helps to protect patients, healthcare workers, and others who may be exposed to X-rays, and helps to ensure that accurate, high-quality images are produced.
