Estimation of radiation dose from porcelain teeth containing uranium compound

J Dent Res. 1980 Jul;59(7):1136-40. doi: 10.1177/00220345800590070701.

Abstract

Uranium concentrations of porcelain teeth were determined using the fission track method. The uranium contents of each brand range 0.33-10 ppm, 0.69-81 ppm, 2.5-14 ppm, and 11-205 ppm, respectively. In addition, corresponding dose equivalents to the oral mucosa were calculated.
