There was an article in the New York Times on November 22 about the possible risks on cone-beam scanners.

The article cites several instances of conflict of interest between dentists and cone-beam manufactures. It also states that the amount of radiation being emitted is not well known.
Any thoughts on the use of this technology? Also, the article points out that several dentists still use D speed radiographic film. How common is this?
