484 Lead Aprons: Regulation vs Recommendation with Sue Scherer
About this Episode
The ADA put out a position paper in February 2024 regarding recommendations for use of lead aprons (and similar barriers) during dental xray exposure. The result has been some confusion on what type of enforcement the ADA has for the practitioner and if a recommendation carries the same weight as regulation. Join us as Sue Scherer sets things straight!
