Abstract
Radiographic imaging is an important diagnostic adjunct for clinical assessment of dental patients. Rapid advances in diagnostic imaging have major impact on dental radiology. Obtaining diagnostic radiographs in the paediatric dental patient is probably the most difficult to accomplish, because of fear and anxiety in children which is usually present during the first dental visit. So keeping this in mind few innovative radiographic techniques are used in this study, which can be used in paediatric dentistry to decrease the anxiety of children as well as parents. Intraoral periapical radiographs were taken in mandibular and maxillary arch with different techniques like using lollipop, snap-a-ray, bubblegum, desensitization and vertical holding of the film in pediatric patients. The efficacy of each technique was evaluated by Faces Pain Scale. The results revealed that the most accepted technique by paediatric patients was the lollipop technique.
