Q

General steps of periapical projection technique:

A
  • prepare the unit
  • seat the patient: upright, lead apron
  • adjust xray settings: ET, mA, kVp
  • examine oral cavity
  • position tube head and reception and X-ray tube
  • make the exposure

Q

Paralleling technique:

A

Film is parallel to the long axis of the tooth and the xray beam is perpendicular to the film and the long axis of the tooth

  • Increase the distance between xray source and object to minimise the magnification of the image

Q

What is the bisecting angle technique based on?

A

16
Q

Where is the receptor positioned in the bisecting angle technique:

A

On the lingual surface of the teeth resting in the palate or floor of the mouth

17
Q

Bisecting angle technique:

A

Long axis of the tooth and receptor form an angle and an imaginary line bisects that angle, and the xray beam is projected at a right angle to that bisecting line

18
Q

Which of the 2 Periapical techniques is: most common, simple, has a higher deformation?

A

Bisecting angle technique

19
Q

Positioning of the patient in the bisecting angle technique:

A
  • comfortable, stable, leaning against the chair
  • maxillary images: upright with sagittal plane vertical and occlusal horizontal
  • mandibular images: tilted slightly to compensate for the change occlusal plane when mouth is open
20
Q

Do you place the receptor in front of or behind the area of interest in the BAT?

A

Behind

21
Q

Angulation of the tube head in the BAT?

A
  • vertical angulation
  • horizontal angulation
22
Q

Vertical angulation: maxilla

A

Incisors: 40
Canines: 45
PM: 30
M: 25
CIPM
* remember for dental anatomy that canines have the most angulation in the dental arch

23
Q

Vertical angulation: mandible

A

Incisors: -15
Canines: -20
PM: -10
M: -5

CIPM

24
Q

Horizontal angulation:

A

Perpendicular to bisector

25
Q

Advantages of Periapcial projection:

A

Non complex technique
Low cost
Sharpness

26
Q

Disadvantages of Periapical technique

A

Limited area
Bidimensional image
Overlapping
Ineffective in edentulism

29
Q

Positioning of the patient’s head in bite wing projection:

A

Occlusal plane parallel to the floor

30
Q

Receptor placement in bitewing projection:
