Main indication of X-ray examination in children, types and dimension of the commonly used X-ray films, techniques of elaboration and the modes of interpretation of X-ray pictures are described. The importance of the bitewing technique for the detection of caries is pointed out and suitable time intervals for repetition of the bitewingpictures in temporary and permanent dentition are presented.
