Dental x‐rays and risk of meningioma

Ionizing radiation is a consistently identified and potentially modifiable risk factor for meningioma, which is the most frequently reported primary brain tumor in the United States. The objective of this study was to examine the association between dental x‐rays—the most common artificial source of ionizing radiation—and the risk of intracranial meningioma.
