RADIOGRAPHS ARE TAKEN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: INITIAL OR PERIODIC EXAMINATION - WHEN POSTERIOR PROXIMAL SURFACES CANNOT BE VIEWD. - THE TIMING OF THE INIATIAL RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION SHOULD NOT BE BASED UPON THE PATIENT ´S AGE, BUT UPON EACH CHILD´S INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. POST-OP EVALUATION SPECIFIC CLINICAL INDICATIONS SELECTION CRITERIA FOR DENTAL RADIOGRAPHS

RADIOGRAPHS ARE INDICATED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1.SUSPECTED OR VISIBLE CARIES 2.SUSPECTED PULPAL AND\OR PERIAPICAL PATHOLOGY 3.TRAUMATIC INJURIES 4.PROBLEMS IN ERUPTION 5.DEVELOPMENTAL ANOMALIES 6.UNEXPLAINED DISCOLORATION OF TEEH 7.ORTHODONTIC EVALUATION 8.EVIDENCE OF SWELLING\FISTULA 9.UNEXPLAINED MOBILTY OF TEETH SPECIFIC CLINICAL INDICATIONS

1.BITE-WING 2.PERIAPICAL 3.OCCLUSAL 4.PANORAMIC TYPES OF DENTAL RADIOGRAPHS

A PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPH WILL SHOW: 1.PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF PERMANENT TEETH 2.POSITIONS OF THE PERMANENT TEETH IN RELATION TO THE PRIMARY TEETH 3.EVALUATION OF BONY LESIONS AND THE TMJ TYPES OF DENTAL RADIOGRAPHS
