Study Notes

Human Dentition

An adult human mouth typically contains 32 teeth, including wisdom teeth.
Primary teeth begin to be replaced by permanent teeth around age six.
Commonly affected teeth by failure to erupt include the third molars (wisdom teeth).
Each side of the mouth has 2 deciduous molars.

Dental Radiography Principles

Recommended Kvp range for intra-oral dental radiography is between 60-70 kVp.
Film for intra-oral dental radiography should be of high-speed type to reduce exposure time.
Maximum beam diameter at the patient’s skin surface should not exceed 2.75 inches.

Bite Wing Radiography

Film for bite wing radiograph should be placed parallel to the teeth.
To avoid distortion, use proper alignment and angulation techniques.
Patient should be instructed to close their mouth gently during the procedure.

PA Projection Guidelines

The OM line (Orbitomeatal line) should be positioned parallel to the floor during PA projection.
Ear pieces should be inserted to support the film and align it during radiography.
Center the X-ray beam through the cervical spine for optimum capture.

Cephalometry in Dentistry

Purpose of cephalometry includes assessing relationships between dental and skeletal structures.
Patient is recommended to remain still for about 10 seconds during dental X-ray exposure.
A bite block groove in dental X-rays helps align the patient’s bite accurately.

Dental Imaging Techniques

Lateral view is utilized to capture crowns and roots of teeth using certain imaging techniques.
Occlusal imaging serves to visualize the entire dental arch.
Ortho-pan-tomography (OPG) demonstrates both jaws in a single projection.

Radiographic Procedures

Recommended exposure time for OPG usually ranges from 15 to 30 seconds.
Position for lateral oblique radiography of the mandible should have the film placed parallel to the jaw.
Central ray alignment is critical; should be angled according to dental arch positioning.

Patient Positioning and Equipment

For lower occlusal radiography, patient’s head should be leveled and aligned appropriately.
Film placement for lateral oblique radiography should favor the body’s midline.
Recommended tube side for lower teeth should be angulated at 20 degrees for optimal results.

Recommended Techniques and Angular Directions

Correct angulation for incisors in lower teeth tube angulation is around 15 degrees.
An angle of 50 to 60 degrees is recommended when taking upper occlusal X-rays.
Proper centering of the beam is essential to avoid distortions during imaging.

Educational Objectives

Educational objectives of lectures on radiographic anatomy emphasize understanding technique and anatomy correlation.
The Applied Radiologic Technology department plays a role in integrating radiographic principles into clinical practice.

Functions of Dental Radiography

Dental radiography aids in detecting anomalies and injuries in the maxilla and mandible.
Measurement of tooth root lengths before orthodontic treatment is critical for effective planning.
Identification of unerupted teeth using dental radiography assists in appropriate clinical interventions.

Dental Formulas and Tooth Anatomy

The dental formula for permanent teeth according to Palmer notation is typically 1-8 for permanent dentition.
Occlusal plane refers to the alignment of the upper and lower dental arches during biting.
The cervical region is the area of the tooth where the crown meets the root.

Dental Radiography and Film Technique

For premolar and molar teeth in periapical radiography, film should be positioned towards the central ray.
Recommended direction and centering of the x-ray beam are crucial for capturing accurate images.
Correct head positioning during periapical radiography enhances diagnostic quality of images.
