Early detection and diagnosis require medical and dental histories, clinical examination, and radiographs. The panoramic radiograph will yield more accurate results in children older than eight to nine years, when most tooth buds should be discernible.

The use of computed tomography (C.T.) in the diagnosis and management of developmental and pathological conditions of the jaws in children was evaluated. CT was found to be superior to plain film radiography in estimation of the three-dimensional morphology of the abnormality in the jaws, in determining spatial relationship and proximity to vital structures. It is valuable by allowing accurate planning of the surgical procedure, estimation of the extent of the surgery and prediction of outcome as well as complications and prognosis. CT in the appropriate circumstances, is a very useful diagnostic tool in pediatric maxillofacial surgery. Tissue preservation and precision are of utmost importance, especially in children where many structures have not reached their final dimensions. Careful consideration should be given to risk benefit ratios due to higher exposure to radiation.
