Purpose: More than any other population, pregnant women have lower immunity and are more vulnerable to disease. Dental practitioners frequently utilise X-ray radiographs as practice instruments to address clinical issues and offer useful diagnostic data. Dental X-ray exams expose patients to minimal radiation levels that pose little biological risk. The International Committee on Radiological Protection, or ICRP, reports that thousands of expectant mothers are annually exposed to ionising radiation that is used in diagnostic surgical operations. Examining the safety of dental imaging for foetal wellbeing in pregnant women was the aim of this study.

Methods: In May 2023, inquiries were done through the Scopus, Pub Med, and Web of Science indexes. Inclusion requirements were investigations using phantoms to replicate imaging exams as well as both longitudinal and cross-sectional investigations analysing diagnostics images of teeth in pregnant women. Reviews, emails to the editor, books sections, and summaries from academic meetings and workshops were among the things that were excluded.

Results: 3,913 articles in total were found. 21, out of 3,892 articles, were left for full-text review after the abstracts and titles were reviewed. Eighteen of these were eliminated, and four more articles were added as cross-references. In the end, a combination of qualitative and quantitative evaluations was performed on 5 publications. Three retrospective research investigations examined dental imaging techniques performed on pregnant women. In the next four trials, radiation doses absorbed by the thyroid or uterus were represented by means of female phantoms, who served as imaging assessment simulators.

Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that pregnant women can use antibiotics safely and effectively during their pregnancy. Furthermore, the number of dental examinations, broken down by kind that corresponded to this dosage was not provided in the examined publications. Pregnant women should not have their access to dental CT exams restricted if it is clinically needed. The ability to contest the examination and adhere to the radioprotection principle of "As Low as Diagnostics Appropriate as long as being indication-oriented and patient-specific" (ALADAIP) are ultimately requirements for professionals.
