Recent advances in dental radiography for pediatric patients: A review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dental radiography is considered to be a diagnostic tool for a proper treatment planning of the disorders of oral cavity like periodontal diseases, diff erent oral pathologies, and dental caries. In pediatric dentistry, radiography is a part of daily practice because of its unusual and unique role. As the child is brought in the clinic for the 1st time, radiology has been proven to be an acceptable and a painless method to introduce a child for a dental treatment. The confi dence of the patient can be successfully achieved. Thus, this review aims to give a brief overview of dental radiography in children including specialized radiographic techniques and diff erent modifi cations that can successfully be used in infants, in young and handicapped children, children with gag refl ex and mentally disabled children.

In vitro Comparison of Conventional Film and Direct Digital Radiography in Proximal Caries Detection
Introduction: Various systems for intraoral digital radiography have been available as an alternative to film–based radiography. In consideration of several advantages of digital radiography such as less patient absorbed dose, manipulation of image quality and elimination of processing, it has been extensively used in different fields of dentistry in recent years. The purpose of this study wa...

Background: This study aimed to estimate and compare the absorbed dose, lifetime cancer risk and mortalities due to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and panoramic examinations on patients. Materials and Methods: The exposure factors were applied to 332 patients in two age groups (6-10, and ˃18-year-old). The dose-area product (DAP) values were measured for CBCT and panoramic radiographies. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Diagnodent Accuracy in Detecting Approximal Caries in Primary Molars
Introduction: Detection of caries lesions on approximal surfaces of posterior teeth is difficult, since wide contact points hamper direct visual inspection. Due to the importance of the early detection of dental caries, the aim of this study is to compare the performance of different methods (visual, bitewing radiography and DIAGNOdent) in detecting approximal caries in primary molars. Methods:...

Abstract Objectives: While great advances have been made in the field of pediatric dentistry, creating a friendly relationship with pediatric patients and getting them to readily accept dental treatment and cooperate remains challenging. Cooperation by children can affect the quality of dental visit and the required time for the treatment. Dentists’ attire could be one of the factors that signi...
متن کاملEfficacy of Increasing Focus to Film Distance (FFD) for Patient’s Dose and Image Quality in Pediatric Chest Radiography
Background: Increasing the x-ray focus to film distance (FFD) has been advocated as an effective method to reduce the patients’ radiation dose. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of this technique in patients' dose and image quality in pediatric chest x-ray.Material and methods: Sixty pediatric patients were x-ray imaged at FFDs of 100 and 130 cm. Dose measurements were perfo...
