This paper presents the study that would allow a revision of the currently valid diagnostic reference level in intraoral dental X-ray radiography in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study was conducted for six procedures that are used to capture incisor, premolar and molar teeth, of both maxilla and mandible, in adults. Measurements were performed on 41 intraoral X-ray devices, 20 of which were systems with digital image receptor and 21 film-based X-ray systems. In this study, incident air kerma (K_i) and air kerma-area product (P_KA) were used as patient dose descriptors. The third quartile (Q₃) of the measured incident air-kerma values was used to compare with the current national diagnostic reference level (DRL) for intraoral dental procedures. The obtained results of Q₃ for both types of devices, with film-based and digital image receptors, have shown that the third quartile values are lower (3.5 and 1.2 mGy, respectively) than the current national DRL (7.0 mGy). Hence, new data can be used to re-establish the diagnostic reference levels in intraoral dental X-ray examinations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的口腔内X射线放射照相：研究诊断参考水平值的研究。

本文介绍了一项研究，该研究将允许修订波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那口腔内牙科X射线照相的当前有效诊断参考水平。该研究进行了六种程序，用于捕获成人的上颌和下颌的切牙，前磨牙和磨牙。在41个口腔X射线设备上进行了测量，其中20个是具有数字图像接收器的系统，还有21个基于胶片的X射线系统。在这项研究中，使用空气比释动能（K _i）和空气比释动能面积乘积（P _KA）作为患者的剂量指标。第三四分位数（Q ₃）的测量的空气比释动能值与口腔内牙科手术的当前国家诊断参考水平（DRL）进行比较。对于具有胶片和数字图像接收器的两种类型的设备，Q ₃的获得的结果表明，第三四分位数的值（分别为3.5和1.2 mGy）低于当前的国家DRL（7.0 mGy）。因此，新数据可用于在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的口腔内X光检查中重新建立诊断参考水平。
