Expose and Evaluate Flashcards
Intra oral - show’s full tooth from cusp to apex - used to evaluate for periodical pathology/periodontal disease.
periapical
Intra oral - shows crowns, portion of roots of both maxillary and mandibular teeth on one film - used to detect inter proximal decay
bitewing
Intra oral - shows large portion of ONE JAW - detects impacted canines, jaw fractures, salivary stones
occlusal
Extra oral - shows full maxillary/mandibular arches on one film - evaluates position of 3rd molars, supernumerary teeth, TMJ, maxillary sinus, jaw fractures, edentulous arches - not detailed enough to diagnosis cries/periodontal disease
panoramic
Extra oral - lateral view of skull with soft tissue facial profile - used mainly in orthodontics - evaluates normal growth/development
cephalometric
Extra oral - used to evaluate the posterior region of the mandible - used in children/patients with limited jaw opening - evaluates impacted teeth/fractures/impacted 3rd molars - can be used to evaluate body of the mandible/ramus
lateral jaw
Extra oral - used to evaluate sinuses
water’s projection
Extra oral - used to evaluate facial growth/development/trauma/disease/developmental abnormalities
