Waters Projection Radiographic Technique Quiz

The soft palate is the area most likely to elicit this protective reflex.

Cessation of respiration and muscle contractions in the throat and abdomen occur before this protective reflex.

Placement in the maxillary molar region is most likely to trigger this response.

This imaging is used to view large areas of the jaws and skull, providing a broader perspective than intraoral radiographs.

This type of image is the most popular extraoral projection used in general dental practices, providing a broad view of the entire dentition and surrounding structures.

This film is typically used for extraoral imaging due to the large area it covers.

This is used to reduce the amount of scatter radiation, improving image quality and clarity.

Periapical projection is preferred for showing the entire tooth and surrounding bone in young patients.

This technique is recommended for examining patients with severely resorbed alveolar ridges when traditional methods are difficult.

This type of image is commonly used for examining the edentulous jaw, providing a broad view of the entire jaw structure.

This branch of dentistry focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the dental pulp.

This can help desensitize the tissues and suppress the gag reflex during receptor placement.

Extraoral bite-wings should be attempted to capture some diagnostic information.

The dental radiographer should remove the receptor as quickly as possible to alleviate discomfort.

Use gestures or sign language when communicating with a patient who is blind or visually impaired.

This allows for detailed visualization within a selected plane.

Location of the rotation point determines this aspect in TMJ tomography.

This projection is used to evaluate the maxillary sinus area, as well as demonstrate the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, the orbits, and the nasal cavity.

This projection to identify the position of the condyles and evaluate fractures of the zygomatic arch

This projection is used to identify fractures of the condylar neck and ramus area.

This projection is used to evaluate the superior surface of the condyle and the articular eminence.

This is used to evaluate impacted teeth, fractures, and lesions located in the body of the mandible.

This projection is used to evaluate impacted third molars, large lesions, and fractures that extend into the ramus of the mandible.

This is used to evaluate facial growth and development, trauma, and disease and developmental abnormalities, and demonstrates the bones of the face and skull as well as the soft tissue profile of the face.

This projection is used to evaluate facial growth and development, trauma, and disease and developmental abnormalities, and demonstrates the frontal and ethmoid sinuses, the orbits, and the nasal cavity.
