Bildgebung In Der Kinderzahnheilkunde

Pediatric dentistry relies heavily on imaging for the early detection and prevention of dental problems in children. Digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, and 3D imaging are central to this process. Digital X-ray imaging offers lower radiation exposure, faster imaging, and efficient documentation. Intraoral cameras provide close-up images that facilitate diagnosis and help educate parents and children. 3D imaging, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), offers detailed insights for complex cases and orthodontic planning. Imaging plays a crucial role in preventive dentistry, orthodontic examinations, and the treatment of dental trauma in children. It is also essential for pre-anesthetic assessments of children requiring sedation or general anesthesia. In addition to diagnosis, imaging aids in patient education and promotes collaboration among dentists, parents, and caregivers to improve children's oral health.
