Dental X-Rays under the microscope: could they harm your cells?
NCT ID NCT07330401
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether two common dental X-ray types, OPG and CBCT, cause damage to cells in the mouth. Researchers collected cheek cell samples from 60 people before and 10-12 days after X-ray exposure. They counted micronuclei, a sign of cell damage, to compare the effects of the two X-ray methods across different age groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help dentists choose safer X-ray methods and reduce potential cell damage from dental imaging.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures cell changes, not actual health risks.
