Who legally owns a patient's dental radiographs?

The Patient
The Insurance Company
The Dentist
The Hygienist

The correct answer is: The Dentist

Unlike the other options, the dentist is the only professional legally responsible for owning and maintaining a patient's dental radiographs. While the patient has a right to access and request copies of their records, the physical ownership and responsibility falls on the dentist. Insurance companies and hygienists are not legally responsible for maintaining radiographs.
