So Little Room, So Much to See (The Complete Pediatric Dental Examination) 3 CEs

Every pediatric dental examination is like a new patient examination simply because of the dynamics of growth and development. Furthermore, there is much to see in the mouths of children other than caries and loose teeth. This program thoroughly covers all aspects of the pediatric dental examination including recognition of anomalies, growth and development, symmetry and balance of the dentition and other components that make examinations on children far from routine. Both clinical and radiographic photographs illustrate the areas of discussion.
