Prospects for the use of microfocus X-ray in pediatric dentistry
There is a clear need to reduce the dose of radiation exposure in the dental examination of patients, which is especially important in children. The quality of diagnostic informative radiographs should not decrease. The introduction of a wide practice of digital microfocus X-ray made it possible to expand research opportunities for dental examination of children by reducing the dose of radiation exposure in the study. At the clinical admission were examined 34 patients aged 4 to 18 years, and the analysis of 100 radiographs about caries and its complications. The result of statistical analysis of the effectiveness of microfocus X-ray on children’s dental examination showed that this method can be recommended as a method of additional examination in the practice of pediatric dentist.
