Drywall construction as a dental radiation barrier
Journal Article
·
· Oral Surg., Oral Med., Oral Pathol.; (United States)
Six typical forms of drywall construction have been tested as barriers against primary and secondary dental x-radiation. It is concluded that this widely used type of wall construction is generally effective for this purpose, but with a heavy workload two thicknesses of wallboard on each side of the wall are required to provide a sufficient barrier. In general, no lead need be incorporated in the walls.
