Q

Define the term: object-receptor distance

A
  • the distance from the object being imaged *(tooth)) to the image receptor influences image magnification
  • less image magnification results when the tooth and the image receptor are as close as possible, and more magnification results when the tooth and receptor are far apart

Q

Define the term: bite-wing image

A

intraoral image that is used to examine the interproximal surfaces of teeth

22
Q

Define the term: intraoral image

A
  • an image the results when an image receptor is placed inside the mouth and exposed to x-rays
  • used to examine teeth
23
Q

Define the term: Rinn XCP instrument

A
  • a type of beam alignment device that is used with the paralleling technique
  • includes plastic bite blocks, plastic aiming rings, and metal indicator arms
24
Q

Define the term: interproximal

A

between two adjacent surfaces

25
Q

Define the term: interproximal examination

A

an intraoral inspection used to examine the crowns of both maxillary and mandibular teeth on a single image

26
Q

Define the term: intraoral

A

inside the mouth

27
Q

Define the term: intraoral imaging examination

A

a dental imaging inspection of teeth and intraoral adjacent structures

28
Q

Define the term: parallel

A

moving or lying in the same plane; always separated by the same distance and not intersecting

29
Q

Define the term: perpendicular

A

intersecting at or forming right angles

30
Q

Define the term: position-indicating device (PID) / cone

A
  • an open-ended, lead-lined cylinder extending from the opening of the tubehead

*aims and shapes the x-ray beam

31
Q

Define the term: bite-wing receptor

A

an intraoral image receptor used to examine the crowns of both maxillary and mandibular teeth on one image

32
Q

Define the term: image receptor holder

A

a device used to hold an intraoral image receptor in the mouth and stabilize the receptor’s position during the exposure

33
Q

Define the term: image receptor placement

A

the specific area where the image receptor must be positioned before exposure

34
Q

Define the term: Rinn Snap-A-Ray Holder

A

an intraoral receptor holder used to stabilize an image receptor during exposure

35
Q

Define the term: Stabe Biteblock

A

a disposable styrofoam device that can be used to hold an image receptor during exposure

36
Q

Define the term: posterior teeth

A

first and second premolars/bicuspids, and first, second and third molars

37
Q

Define the term: anterior

A

towards the front

38
Q

Define the term: maxillary teeth

A

teeth located in the maxilla or upper arch

39
Q

Define the term: mandibular teeth

A

teeth located in the mandible or lower arch

40
Q

Define the term: vertical

A

an up-and-down plane

41
Q

Define the term: horizontal

A

a side-to-side plane

42
Q

When using the bite-wing technique, how is the image receptor placed intraorally?

A

parallel to the crowns of both the maxillary and mandibular teeth

43
Q

When using the bite-wing technique, how is the central ray of the x-ray beam directed towards the image receptor?

A

the image receptor is directed through the contacts of the teeth, using a vertical angulation of +10 degrees

44
Q

When using the bite-wing technique, what is the correct horizontal angulation of the central ray of the x-ray beam?

A

the central ray is directed perpendicular to the curvature of the arch and through the contact areas of the teeth

45
Q

When using the bite-wing technique, what does incorrect horizontal angulation cause on the image?

A

overlapped contacts

46
Q

When using the bite-wing technique, what is the correct vertical angulation of the central ray of the x-ray beam?

A

+10 degrees

47
Q

Why is positive vertical angulation needed for the bite-wing technique?

A

the+10 degrees compensates for the slight bend of the upper portion of the image receptor and the slight tilt of the maxillary teeth

48
Q

Are vertical angulations above the occlusal plane considered positive or negative?

A

positive

49
Q

Are vertical angulations below the occlusal plane considered positive or negative?

A

negative

50
Q

When using the bite-wing technique, how is zero angulation achieved?

A

when the position-indicating device and the central ray of the x-ray beam are parallel to the floor

51
Q

Why is a horizontal bite-wing commonly contraindicated for patients with periodontal disease?

A

the horizontal bite-wing may not extend far enough to show the amount of bone loss
