Sažetak
Recently, there has been an increased interest in the utilization of a handheld X-ray devices for intraoral imaging in modern dental practice. Globally, several documents with recommended guidelines on the utilization of a handheld X-ray device for intraoral imaging have been issued. Considering that the recommended guidelines were contradictory, additional research was initiated on the justification of manual utilization in everyday practice. The goal of this article is to present the justification for the utilization of a handheld X-ray devices as an alternative to wall mounted fixed devices that has been presented by several studies that examined the level of radiation received by the operator, the environment and the patient. In the interest of research, the emphasis was also on the radiological image quality control. Although the results of the quality parameters on the radiological image with both types of devices proved to be successful, the results of the radiation dose oscillated and were not completely acceptable for the operator, the environment and the patient, if all radiation protection guidelines were not followed. Further research should be done additionally on people, instead on models and phantoms, before they are fully introduced into everyday dental practice.
