A

AML

48
Q

A

condyloid processes (CONDYLES!!!)

49

A

false. (ant.)

53
Q

which TMJ XR requires skull to remain in true lat pos?

A

Schuller

54
Q

axiolat (schuller) for TMJ requires a CR angle of?

A

25-30º caudad (to 1/2” ant. & 2” sup. to EAM)

55
Q

lat facial reveals that rami are not superimposed. what occurred?

A

skull rotation

56
Q

30º PA axial facial reveals petrous ridges are projected at the level of the IOMs. Is this acceptable? how do you correct?

A

yes; you don’t - XR ok

57
Q

lat facial reveals that mandibular bodies are not superimposed (one is about 1 cm sup. to the other). what happened? how do you correct?

A

skull tilt; make sure MSP is II to IR, and IPL is perp to IR, and IOML is perp to front edge of IR

58
Q

Rhese XR reveals that the optic foramen is located in the upper outer quadrant of orbit. is this acceptable? how do you correct?

A

No. + neck extension. AML should be perp to IR to ensure optic foramen is open & projected into lower outer quadrant of orbit
