['Hidden caries' and radiographic studies in children's teeth].
Proximal cavities in deciduous molars are often clinically detected at the time the pulp is involved in the caries process. Besides the early detection of lesions in deciduous teeth in children with a high caries-risk the bite-wing also plays a role in the detection of occlusal 'hidden caries' in non-risk children. In case of 'hidden caries' curative intervention is indicated. Guidelines for the use of bite-wing radiograph's in children are discussed.
