Is the dose of radiation required to produce an acceptable image on the child patient the same as on an adult?
What will be an ideal response?
No. The child's bone structure is smaller and less dense than an adult's bone structure. Less radiation is required to produce an acceptable image. The amount of radiation required for most intraoral exposures can be reduced by one-third to one-half that required for the same exposure on an adult patient.
