The rectangular collimator reduces the patient's radiation dose. This study aims to analyze the impact of the rectangular collimator on the quality of intraoral X-rays taken by students of the University Clinics of Dental Medicine (Geneva, Switzerland). Intraoral X-rays, performed by 8 students with digital intraoral phosphor plates, were collected and a quality score was assigned to each X-ray. A total of 130 intraoral radiographs were analyzed. Half of the radiographs were taken with a rectangular collimator and 24.6% (32/130) were bitewings. The mean quality score of bitewings taken with or without a collimator was 11 ± 1.8 and 10.3 ± 0.9, respectively. The mean quality score of apical X-rays taken with or without collimator was 11.6 ± 1.0 and 11.5 ± 2.1, respectively. X-rays taken with a rectangular collimator were of excellent or sufficient diagnostic quality for 95% of the bitewings and 100% of the periapical radiographs. This quality control study showing that students perform quality intraoral X-rays with a rectangular collimator could encourage clinicians to use this device as ameans of radiation protection in their daily practice.
