Objectives: To evaluate the utility of the application of a thyroid shield in intraoral radiography when using rectangular collimation.
Methods: Experimental data were obtained by measuring the absorbed dose at the position of the thyroid gland in a RANDO(®) (The Phantom Laboratory, Salem, NY) male phantom with a dosemeter. Four protocols were tested: round collimation and rectangular collimation, both with and without thyroid shield.
