Abstract
Dental radiography plays an important role in diagnosis, treatment planning, dental procedures, and treatment follow-up. Two-dimensional imaging is the gold standard, and in case the diagnostic yield from these is not sufficient, additional three-dimensional imaging can be used [e.g., cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)]. This manuscript describes intraoral and extraoral radiography techniques that can be applied in every day pediatric dentistry. Knowing and understanding the techniques and being aware of their limitations are paramount in making the right decision to obtain the best diagnostic image in every individual case.
