Different methods for utilising teeth were applied for the reconstruction of internal and external doses for the population of the Techa riverside area contaminated as a result of radioactive releases from the Mayak plutonium-production facility. Information on 90Sr content in the enamel of teeth obtained from the Techa River residents has been used for the reconstruction of intakes of this nuclide. Analyses of dosimetric investigations on dental tissues performed in the Techa River region provide an understanding of the possibilities and limitations of using human teeth in retrospective dosimetry studies. © The Author 2007.
