- Abstract
Pediatric dentists' role in radiographic exposure of children plays a vital role in their normal growth and development. Radiographs act as a diagnostic tool in identifying the physical condition of the patients. With the technological advancements, there has been a reduction of radiation exposure to patients and clinicians. However, the use of dental radiography should be carefully managed since it can cause some side effects toward normal cells and tissues especially in growing child. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of around twenty questions with both "yes," "no," and multiple-choice pattern will be prepared to obtain information about knowledge, attitude, and practice on radiation exposure protection from pediatric dentists. Dental radiography is a must have tool in our practice, but the judicious use of it is recommended and to be self-mandated. In this study, we will be assessing the knowledge, awareness, and practice of radiography among pediatric dentists which will be analyzed and inferred and will serve as a wake-up call to our professionals to safeguard the future generation.
