A review of pediatric radiology.
In most dental schools, the focus is on teaching students how to treat adults, with little emphasis placed on treating children. The goal of this article is to review some basic concepts in pediatric radiology to help general practitioners have a better understanding of when to take radiographs on children, which radiographs should be taken, what to look for when examining the radiographs and possible ways to treat the problems diagnosed from the radiographs.
