intraoral projection Flashcards
BID-beam indicating device
collimates and directs X-ray beam (cone) (can also be rectangle)
Central ray of x ray beam
define position of beam vertically and horizontally
vertical angulation
movement of BID up or down in relation to occlusal plane
horizontal angulation
movement of BID around patients head in relation to sagittal plane
positive vs negative vertical angulation
positive=beam pointing down
negative=beam pointing up
most accurate vertical angulation
BW’s
what do bite wings eval?
- bone height
- interprox lesions
- depth of rest/caries
- assessment of rest margins
FMX
20 radiographs
PA’s on top and bottom
BW in middle
rules for PA
must show the entire crown and roots
2 mm beyond root apices
rules for BW
equal distribution of both arches
rules for canine
- canine must be centered in image
- 2 mm of apical bone visible above the root apex
- lateral canine contact open
head position for occlusal plane of teeth radiograph
parallel to floor
sagittal plane radiograph head position?
perpendicular to floor
paralleling technique
most anatomically accurate
-extension cone, right angle, long cone
bisecting angle
inherit distortion
pt managment
2 fundamental principles of paralleling technique
- image receptor is positioned parallel to long axes of teeth
- central ray of x ray beam is directed perpendicular to teeth and image receptor
to obtain a parallel relationship bw teeth and image in maxillary teeth?
incisal edges/buccal cusps engage biteblock in first or second groove (outer edge of bite block)
-receptor in center of oral cavity
in order to achieve parallelism between image receptor and teeth, the OBJECT RECEPTOR DISTANCE will have to be increased in the _______
maxillary arch (tooth placement in first or second groove)
