Radiographic interpretation in children can be challenging—developing teeth, growing bones, and mixed dentition often produce appearances that mimic disease. Essential Radiology for Pediatric Patients: Everything You Want to Know, But Were Afraid to Ask demystifies these findings by highlighting the key differences between normal developmental anatomy and true pathology. Through a series of clinical cases and radiographic examples, this lecture will help practitioners recognize normal variations, understand the radiographic appearance of growth and eruption stages, and avoid common diagnostic pitfalls. Participants will also review characteristic radiographic presentations of frequently encountered pediatric oral pathologies. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to interpret pediatric radiographs with greater confidence, accuracy, and clinical insight.

Learning Objectives:

• Be able to Interpret common radiographic findings in pediatric patients.
• Be able to understand the most common radiographic pathology in the pediatric patient.
• Be able to re-learn the systematic and methodic process of a radiographic interpretation report.
