The distance from tooth to film should be — with bisecting
As short as possible
Bisecting is also called?
Short cone
Isometry
The central ray should be at a right angle to the — — when using bisecting technique?
Bisecting line
5 guidelines for bisecting technique?
1- cover area
2- film against lingual of occlusal surface and 1/8 past plane
3- vertical angulation (central ray at right angle to bisecting line)
4- horizontal angulation through contacts
5- PID centered over film
Advantages of Bisecting Can use --- cone --- film placement Good for --- mouths --- exposure time
Small
Easier
Small, low palats, children
Shorter (25% less)
The — — is sometimes superimposed over apices on MX
Zygomatic arch
Bisecting technique comes with — tissue exposure and more chance of image —
High
Distortions
Bisecting technique commonly uses what film holding devices?
Snap-a-ray
Bite blocks
EEZEE Grips
In order to fix elongation you?
Increase vertical angulation
PID points down more
To fix foreshortening you?
Decrease vertical angulation
PID pointing down a little less
Images close to PID may appear
— with bisecting while those far from PID appear —
Foreshortened
Elongated
Films are commonly – or — with bisecting technique
Over/under exposed
—- is a common mistake with bisecting due to horizontal angulation placement
