Intraoral X-Ray Equipment and Techniques

Periapical Radiograph = To detect lesions and conditions of individual teeth and surrounding bone Bitewing Radiograph = To detect interdental caries and assess the height of the alveolar bone Occlusal Radiograph = To identify large areas of the upper and lower jaw Localized technique Radiograph = To focus on a specific area of concern in the oral cavity

Radiographic Film = Smooth and shiny surface of the film must face the teeth Sensor = Digital equipment used for radiographic imaging Portable X-Ray machine = X-Ray machine that can be easily moved from one location to another Wall X-Ray machine = Traditional fixed X-Ray machine installed on a wall

The white (smooth) side of the film must face the teeth. = Proper orientation of the film for optimal imaging The anterior films must be placed vertically. = Correct positioning for front teeth imaging The posterior films are always placed horizontally. = Correct positioning for back teeth imaging The identification dot on the film is always placed toward the occlusal surface of the teeth. = Marking for correct alignment during imaging

<p>Paralleling technique = Used for examination of crowns and root of the teeth Bisecting angle technique = Used to examine the crowns and root of the teeth with surrounded structures Bitewing technique = Used to examine proximal surface of the upper and lower teeth Occlusal Technique = Includes Maxillary and Mandibular occlusal techniques</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Developer solution = Chemical for developing the X-ray film Fixer solution = Chemical for fixing the X-ray image Water = Used in rinsing the X-ray film Film Dryer = Used to dry the X-ray film after processing</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Place the film horizontally on occlusal surface = Ensures proper positioning for capturing occlusal images Face the cut on the ↑ = Indicates the correct orientation of the X-ray film The film should always be in center = Ensures uniform exposure during radiography Remove all objects from the mouth and remove eyeglasses = Prepares the patient for X-ray imaging</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Maxillary topographic = Part of maxillary occlusal technique Maxillayry lateral occlusal = Part of maxillary occlusal technique Maxillary Pediatric Occlusal = Part of maxillary occlusal technique Occlusal Film- Maxilla = Film specific to maxillary occlusal imaging</p> Signup and view all the answers
