From an infectious point of view, dentistry has never been safer than it is today for both patients and dental team. This state has resulted from establishment and practice of strict infection control protocol in the dental office using universal infection control methods.The potential for cross-contamination in dental radiology in every dental setup is extremely high especially when intraoral radiographs are exposed and processed.Implementation of infection control in dentistry entails the prevention of infection transmission from within the dental clinic environment. Such a policy protects both patients &staff reducing crosss cotamination and infection. Implementing a safe and realistic infection control procedures requires the full compliance of the whole dental team. Hence this literature review all the available measures and techniques in the field of infection control in dental radiology department.
