Research objective: The aim of this research was to prove that exposure to dental X-ray diagnostics during pregnancy does not affect the fetus. Another goal was to examine the stance of final year dental medicine students about radiological diagnostics applied to pregnant women. Study design: Cross – sectional study Respondents and methods: The main instrument of the research was a questionnaire about the knowledge and opinion of dental medicine students of the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health in Osijek about X-ray radiation of pregnant women. In the paper, the fetal dose was measured during the most common dental radiography procedures. Since it would be unethical to irradiate a pregnant woman for research, the measurements were made on a phantom of the pregnant woman. The phantom was constructed in layers so that dosimeters could be inserted into each part of the phantom to measure the fetal exposure. Results: Out of 18 students who took the survey, 8 of them (44%) agree that sending a pregnant woman for imaging with a device that uses X-ray radiation is allowed only in emergency cases, and only if it is justified according to 7 (39%) respondents. All 18 (100%) of the respondents answered that it is not allowed to film a pregnant woman with a device that uses X-ray radiation in the first and third trimester. Conclusion: Absorbed fetal doses during radiological procedures used in dental medicine are at the level of background radiation. Radiological procedures in dental medicine are not dangerous for the fetus, the procedures can and should be carried out if there is a justified reason for them. It is necessary to increase the level of knowledge in the field of radiation protection in the study of dental medicine and introduce continuous lifelong education in this area.
