Q

PARALLELING TECHNIQUE

LONG TARGET FILM DISTANCE

ADVANTAGES:

A

→ produces images with dimensional accuracy
→ simple and easy to learn and use
→ can be accurately repeated (easier to standardize films)
→ head position is not critical

Q

PARALLELING TECHNIQUE

LONG TARGET FILM DISTANCE

DISADVANTAGES:

A

→ film placements may be difficult
→ film holding device may cause patient discomfort

17
Q

FIVE BASIC RULES of PARALLELING TECHNIQUE

A

(1) Film must cover the prescribed area of interest

(2) Film positioned parallel to the long axis of the tooth

(3) Central ray directed through the contact areas between the teeth

(4) X-ray beam centered over the film to ensure all areas of the film are exposed

18
Q

MODIFICATIONS THAT CAN CAUSE CHALLENGES in using PARALLELING TECHNIQUE

A

→ low palatal vaults
→ maxillary torus
→ mandibular torus

19
Q

based on a simple geometric principle known as rule of isometry

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

20
Q

two triangles are equal if they have two equal angles and share a common side

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

21
Q

Cieszynski’s rule of isometry

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

22
Q

in this technique:
o film is placed along the lingual surface of the tooth

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

23
Q

at point where film contacts tooth, plane of film and long
axis of tooth form an angle

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

24
Q

o an imaginary bisector divides the angle in half or bisects it

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

25
Q

central ray of x-ray beam is directed perpendicular to the
imaginary bisector

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

26
Q

the radiographer must visualize an imaginary plane that bisects
or divides in half that angle formed by the tooth and the film

A

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE

27
Q

opposite hands for each side (both maxillary and mandibular)

A

FINGER STABILIZATION TECHNIQUE

28
Q

thumb for the upper teeth

A

FINGER STABILIZATION TECHNIQUE

29
Q

pointer finger for lower teeth

A

FINGER STABILIZATION TECHNIQUE

30
Q

True or false

In FINGER STABILIZATION TECHNIQUE,
to prevent excess bending of the film at the root apex you should apply heavy pressure at the junction of the tooth crown and gum line

A

False

to prevent excess bending of the film at the root apex you should apply light pressure at the junction of the tooth crown and gum line
