Questions and Answers

Peripheral magnification can be measured but the panorama you cannot measure. Due to focal trap.

True

What is the term for the angle of the incisive canal, the point at which the incisive canal is being examined?

Incisal inclination

The term "Cephalometric" can be used to refer to the motor region, but not the sensory regions.

False

Match the following terms with their definitions:

<p>Cone beam = Produces a cone-shaped X-ray beam. Distal = Away from the center of the body. Cephalometric = Refers to measurements of the head. Proximal = Near the center of the body. Axial = A view of the head from above, looking straight down. Sagittal = A side view, looking directly at the side of the head.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the difference between a cone-beam and distal/proximal?

<p>Cone beam is a type of X-ray machine that produces a cone-shaped X-ray beam. Distal and proximal are terms used to describe the location of something in relation to the center of the body. Distal means farther away from the center of the body, while proximal means closer to the center of the body.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Principal Magnification

  • Peripheral may not be measured, but the panoramic view can be measured using a focal trunk, cone beam

Labio Lingual Inclination

  • Text book centered cephalometric can be used in anterior regions frequently

Difference Between Conventional and Digital A-Key

  • Main differences between conventional and digital A-key include reduction
  • Cone beam is less than conventional
  • Conventional views include sagittal, axial view, some lateral, and cephalometric views.
  • Axial view is same as the occlusal film
