Abstract
The oral examination of the pediatric patients involves detailed evaluation
and assessment along with comprehensive history taking. The pediatric history
involves prenatal history, birth history, past medical history, past dental history, and
family history. The examination part includes a general examination, extra oral
examination and intra oral examination. The pediatric examination specifically
includes dental caries, eruption pattern, shedding pattern, type of dentition, occlusion,
supernumerary teeth, missing teeth etc. Various new diagnostic modalities have been
introduced in the pediatric oral examination for both the hard tissues and soft tissues.
Early diagnosis is mandated for precise treatment and proper prognosis for any disease
which can be achieved by thorough examination through conventional and modern
diagnostic techniques.<br>
