This development poses new challenges for employee and patient safety, and new or revised risk assessments must be performed and appropriate actions taken prior to use. The major issues might be: the difficulty of using rectangular collimation with a beam sighting device, the more complex matching of the exposure settings of the X-ray receiver used, the movement due to the weight of the unit, the protection of the operator and third persons, and the use in uncontrolled environments. These problems may result in violations of “as low as reasonably achievable” as the ALARA principle, increasing (re)exposure, compared to other available intraoral X-ray equipment. Therefore, we can use handheld portable X-ray equipment only when there is evidence that handheld operation is more beneficial than traditional methods and there are no new risks. The use of handheld portable X-ray equipment is expec...

The factors that influence the duration of dental implants depend to a large extent on the patient's lifestyle and overall dental hygiene. In fact, dental implant technology has become so advanced over the years that implant failure due to rejection or functional problems has largely become a problem in the past.
