Radiographs are imperative part of the complete assessment and treatment in medical and dental fields. The attractiveness and expediency of x ray technology extends way beyond the medical fields. Despite the fact that the advent of medical imaging reached to digital radiography, conventional radiography is still used by the practitioners. Unfortunately conventional radiographic procedures potentially generate hazardous waste products that have an alarming impact on environment. The accumulated waste products from the conventional radiographic methods may risk the environmental systems. Proper waste disposal and management is required to resolve this inevitable problem. The main intention of this article is to deal with the hazardous consequences of radiographic waste produced in dentistry and to enlighten the management methods to settle the impact of harmful effects of radiographic waste generated during dental procedure.
