Radiography can serve as a useful aid in the diagnosis of numerous oral conditions, with a place in nearly all of the disciplines of dentistry. As such it can have a beneficial role in caring for the oral health of children and adolescents. The following review discusses the use of radiography in the diagnosis of oral conditions in children and adolescents, with particular reference to the diagnosis of dental caries, dental trauma, growth and development and in other dental scenarios, along with the importance of incidental findings. The risks associated with radiation exposure from the use of radiography are discussed, how these need to be balanced with the possible benefits associated with such use, as well as how risks could be minimised. Summary recommendations are also presented, providing an overview of the use of radiography for oral diagnosis in various clinical scenarios for children and adolescents.
放射照相术有助于诊断多种口腔疾病，在几乎所有牙科领域都有一席之地。因此，它在儿童和青少年口腔健康护理中可发挥有益作用。以下综述讨论了放射照相术在儿童和青少年口腔疾病诊断中的应用，特别提及龋齿、牙外伤、生长发育以及其他牙科情况的诊断，同时还探讨了偶然发现的重要性。文中讨论了使用放射照相术时辐射暴露相关的风险，以及如何在这些风险与使用放射照相术可能带来的益处之间取得平衡，还有如何将风险降至最低。此外，还给出了总结性建议，概述了放射照相术在儿童和青少年各种临床情况下用于口腔诊断的应用。
