Dental X‐rays and the risk of intracranial meningioma

Ionizing radiation is a likely cause of intracranial meningioma. The authors determined whether the risk of intracranial meningioma was associated with past dental X‐rays—specifically, posterior bitewings, full‐mouth series, and lateral cephalometric and panoramic radiographs.
