Abstract

Dental consultations are highly frequented in the healt area. Several medical devices converge in these settings. The use of electrical energy generates electromagnetic fields that affect the environment. To control this, there are recommendations issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. Therefore, measurements of the existing magnetic field in the dental consultation area of the CUJAE hospital were conducted to verify if the environmental values are within permitted limits using an EMDEX gaussmeter. The results indicated that when the equipment is operational, values exceeding 120 mG are reached near the pedestal. Although these levels are below the recommended limits, it should be borne in mind the levels they reach, especially since there is only one dental chair located in this area.
