Histological study of the parenchymatous cells in mice parotid salivary glands exposed to dental radiograph

Firas Riyadh Muhammad

Abstract


Background: Ionizing radiation has been linked to an increased incidence of salivary gland cancers and xerostomia. Saliva has antibacterial and enzymatic properties, and the parotid glands are made up of serous acini. Myoepithelial cells are essential for acinar salivary secretion.

Methods: This research investigated the potential risks associated with dental X-rays and provided evidence-based recommendations for safe use. It was found that exposure to radiation causes a decline in hemoglobin binding to the erythrocyte membrane.

Results: Dental X-ray exposure causes acute inflammatory destruction, and alterations do not fully restore the parotid tissue histology.

Conclusion: Even low doses of radiation from dental X-rays can increase the risk of developing cancer and other health problems, and further studies are needed to mitigate these effects and improve patient outcomes.
