Q

What are three ways to maximize sharpness and resolution on a radiograph?

A
  • Use as small an effective focal spot as practical
  • Increase distance from focal spot to object with long open ended cylinder
  • Minimize distance from object to image receptor (film next to tooth)

Q

What are two ways to minimize image shape distortion?

A
  • Position image receptor (film) parallel to long axis of the object (tooth)
  • Orient central ray (cone) perpendicular to the object and image receptor

Q

When does foreshortening occur?

A

-Occurs when the central beam is perpendicular to the image receptor (film), but the object (tooth) is not

Q

In the paralleling technique where should the central ray be?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Perpendicular to the long axes of both the tooth and the image receptor

19
Q

What technique generates the least distortion and is the preferred method of capturing images when possible?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Paralleling technique

20
Q

In the bisecting technique where should the central beam be?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Directed at a right angle to the imaginary plane bisecting the angle formed by the image receptor (film) and the central axis of the object (tooth)

21
Q

What does the bisecting-angle technique result in?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Image is the correct length, but the tooth is distorted and the height of the alveolar crest is distorted

22
Q

What does SLOB rule stand for?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Same Lingual Opposite Buccal

23
Q

If you move the tube head to the right and the object also moves to the right where is it located in relation to the teeth (widening the distance from the tooth)?

24
Q

How can you obtain greater periapical coverage than you normally obtain in the conventional technique?

Study These Flashcards
A

-Increase the vertical angulation from 5 -15 degrees

25
To lessen distortion in a radiograph you can : A) increase distance between focal spot and image receptor B) Decrease distance between object and image receptor C) Use paralleling technique D) all of the above
D) all of the above
26
In a full mouth series of radiographs how many films do you use?
- 18 #2 sensor | - 21 #1 sensor for anteriors #2 for everything else
27
Of the 18 films you use in a full mouth series of radiographs how many PA and BW films do you use?
- 14 PAs | - 4 BWs
28
When you take a radiograph on the maxillary central incisors where do you line up the Central x-ray entry point?
-Tip of the nose
29
When you take a radiograph of the maxillary canine where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Corner of the nose (Ala)
30
When you take a radiograph of the maxillary bicuspids where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Point down from the pupil of the eye to mid cheek area
31
When you take a radiograph of the maxillary molars where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Point down from the outer canthus (corner of eye) to middle cheek area
32
When you take a radiograph of the mandibular molars where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Point down from the outer canthus (corner of eye) to mid-mandible area
33
When you take a radiograph of the mandibular bicuspids where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Point down from the pupil of the eye to mid-mandible area
34
When you take a radiograph of the mandibular cusipds where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Point down from the ala of the nose to the chin corner
35
When you take a radiograph of the mandibular centrals where is the central x-ray entry point?
- Point down from the tip of the nose to the center of the chin
36
When you take a radiograph of a bicuspid bitewing where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Point down from the pupil of the eye to the occlusal plane
37
When you take a radiograph of the molar bitewing where is the central x-ray entry point?
-Point down from the outer corner of the eye to the occlusal plane
38
When taking periapical radiographs of the upper bicuspids you do which of the following? A) position the center of the cone below the ala of the nose B) Position the sensor such that it captures the distal of the cuspid and mesial of the first molar C) Angle the cone from the mesial in order to project the cuspid onto the sensor D) all of the above
B) Position the sensor such that it captures the distal of the buspid and mesial of the first molar
39
