There is no law requiring the use of lead aprons during dental radiographs and the Michigan Board of Dentistry general rules do not mandate the use of lead aprons. However, the Michigan Dental Association does recommend their use as an added safety precaution for your patients for all exposures including panoramic X-rays.
