Purpose: X-rays are one of the potential mutagenic agents that can cause genetic mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In this study, a micronuclear test was applied to monitor the damage that may occur in the cell core of patients receiving panoramic radiography. Tools and Methods: In our study, 30 volunteers of patients who had to take a panoramic radiography with the cause of dental diagnosis were taken in the bacterial mucous traction cells prior to radiography and 2 weeks after radiography. Changes in the core of 1000 cells in each curve are recorded by counting under the light microscope. Results: In our study, an increase in micronucleus frequency observed in bacterial mucous cells after exposure to X-ray has been statistically meaningful (p <0.001). In other changes in the cell nucleus related to cytotoxicity, a statistically significant increase in caryolex and caryolex has been observed; but no significant increase in picnic has been observed. Result: As a result, panoramic radiography taken during dental diagnosis and treatment causes cytotoxicity in oral mucous cells. Panoramic radiography should be applied in appropriate doses when needed. Keywords Cell damage, Micronucleus test, Panoramic radiography
