Type: periapical receptor
Derived from the Greek peri meaning around and the laten word apex referring to the terminal end of a tooth root. Periapical images show the terminal end of the tooth.
Periapical examination : purpose…is used to
Examine the Entire tooth and supporting bone
Technique: Two methods are used for obtaining perapical radiographs.
Paralleling technique and bisecting technique.
Purpose: interproximal examination
Used to examine the crowns of both maxillary and mandibular teeth on a single image. It is useful for examining adjacent teeth surfaces and crestal bone.
Type: bite-wing receptor
Used in interproximal examination. The bite wing has a wing.
Technique:The bite wing technique is used in interproximal examination.
True
Occlusal examination. Purpose:
Used to examine large areas of the maxilla or mandible on one image.
Type: occlusal examination …
Used to examine large areas of the mandibular and maxillary on one image.
Type: occlusal receptor
The patient bites on
Technique for occlusal examination
The occlusal technique
Extra oral radio graphic examination
Radio graphic examination used to examine large area of the skull or jaw.
Extraoral receptors are placed outside of the mouth.
Examples are . The panoramic radiograph, the later jaw , lateral cephalometric, posteroantererior , waters submentovertex, revers town, transcranial, each has a specific purpose.
Parallel
Moving or lying in the same place always separated by the same distance and not intersecting.
Paralleling technique
1 the receptor is placed parallel to the long axis of the tooth being radiographed
2 the central ray of the x ray beam is directed perpendicular to the receptor and the long axis of the tooth .
3 a beam alignment device must be used to keep the receptor parallel to the tooth. The receptor must be placed away from the tooth.
Target receptor
Distance between the source of the X-ray and the receptor must also be increased. A large 16 inch target receptor must be used.
Stabe bit block
One time use (disposable)
XCP instruments, precision film holder, EEZEE-grip film holder, hemostate with bite- block
Must be sterilized after each use.
Receptors used for paralleling technique
Size 1: anterior region , for placement high in the pallet with out bending. Alway positioned vertical. Up right.
Size 2 : posterior : placed long ( side ways)
With a size one receptor a total of ? Anterior placements may be used in the paralleling technique
? Maxillary exposures
? Mandibular exposures
7 total
4 maxillary
3 mandibular
If size 2 receptors are used instead ? Anterior placements are used.
? Maxillary exposures
? Mandibular exposures
6 total
3 maxillary
3 mandibular
Size one is recommended for the
Anterior periapical exposure sequence for the ring XCP Beam alignment instrument.
? Posterior placements may be used for the paralleling technique
? Mandibular
? Maxillary
The exsposure sequence varies depending on the ?
8 posterior placements
4 maxillary
4 mandibular
Sequence varies depending on the Beam alignment
Exposure of maxillary incisor
The mesial contact of the adjacent central incisor and the mesial contact of the adjacent canine should be seen in the exsposure.
Exposure of the mandibular incisor
Entire roots of the four mandibular incisors, including the apices of the teeth and surrounding structures, must be seen in this image .
For maxillary torus
The receptor must be placed on the far side of the torus.
Receptor placement for mandibular premolar region
Receptor must be placed under the tongue.
Beam alignment in the mouth
The receptor is tipped away from th tongue and toward the teeth.
Advantages of the paralleling technique is
That it produces a radiographic image with out dimensional distortion
The bisecting technique
Also known as the bisecting angle technique it is another method for the peri apical images.
Rule of isometry
Two triangles are equal if they have two equal angles and share a common side.
Bisecting technique can be described as follows
1 The receptor must be placed along the lingual surface of the tooth.
2 the dental radiographer must then direct the central ray of the X-ray beam perpendicular to the imaginary bisector. When the central ray is directed at a 90degree angle to the imaginary bisector , two imaginary equal triangles are formed.
Rinn BAI instruments ( bisecting angle instruments)
Bite blocks, plastic aiming rings, and medal indicator arms.
? Can be added to the plastic aiming ring to reduce the amount of radiation received by the patient.
Snap on ring collimators.
Stabe bite block ( Rinn)
Can be used with the parelleling tecnigue or the bisecting tecnigue.
When the Rinn bite block is used with the bisecting technique
The scored front section is removed and the receptor is placed as lose to the teeth as possible.
