Are methods for exposing radiographs on children essentially the same as for adults?
What will be an ideal response?
Yes. Although either the paralleling or bisecting technique can be employed, the characteristics children present with require slight variation in the vertical angulation. A smaller oral cavity and shallow palatal vault, a tendency toward an exaggerated gag reflex and lack of tongue and muscle control, and sensitive mucosa due to growth and exfoliation of primary teeth requires that the radiographer be creative in improvising on techniques.
