What the federal x-ray regulations mean to the dentist.
The dentists should keep in mind that the Federal Performance Standard is designed to protect the public and the profession from health hazards and from inadequacies in manufacture. It offers many advantages to the dentist who uses X-ray equipment. The standard does not regulate the dentist's diagnostic use of X radiation, but it assures him of purchasing reliable, properly functioning equipment with an increased level of radiation protection.
