**Canine** **Mandibular** premolar 3,4/ molars **Parallel Technique** Film placement Long edge runs rostrocaudal/ short edge runs dorsoventral. Place film as ventrally as possible. Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed. Tube head Placement Distance of tube head dependent on film size (2 film=2 inches) Center tube head on teeth being radiographed Place tube head directly parallel to the film **Canine (Sm)** **Maxillary** Incisors **Bisecting Angle Technique**  Film placement Long edge runs rostral caudal/ short edge runs mediolaterally. Place film so it includes full incisors. Animal should be "biting down" on film Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed Tube head Placement Distance of tube head dependent on film size (4 film=4 inches) 4 inch best for dog Set tube head at angle of zero and center between 101 and 201. Stand at side of animal and find bisecting angle using long edge of film and root of teeth. Use tube arm to adjust tube head parallel to bisecting angle **Canine (Sm)** **Mandibular** incisors **Bisecting Angle Technique** Film placement Long edge runs rostro caudal/ short edge runs mediolaterally. Place Film so it includes full incisors. Animal should be "biting down" on film Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed Tube head Placement Distance of tube head dependent on film size (4 film=4 inches) 4 inch best for dog Set tube head at angle of zero and center between 301 and 401. Stand at side of animal and find bisecting angle using long edge of film and root of teeth. Use tube arm to adjust tube head parallel to bisecting angle **Feline** **Mandibular** Canines/incisors **Bisecting Angle Technique** Film placement Long edge runs rostro caudal/ short edge runs mediolaterally. Place film so it includes full incisors. Animal should be "biting down" on film Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed Tube head Placement Distance of tube head dependent on film size (2 film = 2 inches) 2 inch best for cats Set tube head at angle of zero and center between 101 and 201. Stand at side of animal and find bisecting angle using long edge of film and root of teeth. Use tube arm to adjust tube head parallel to bisecting angle **Feline** **Mandibular** Premolars/Molars **CR- Parallel technique** **DR- Bisecting Angle Technique** Film placement Long edge runs rostro caudal/ short edge runs dorsoventral. Place Film as ventrally as possible against the lingual surface. Place Film rostrally against mandibular symphysis. Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed Tube head Placement Distance of tube head dependent on film size (2 film=2 inches) Center tube head on teeth being radiographed Place tube head directly parallel to the film \*\*May need additional x-ray to obtain root of premolar 3. **Feline** **Maxillary Incisors** **Bisecting Angle Technique**A close-up of a skull and an x-ray Description automatically generated Film placement Long edge runs rostro caudal/ short edge runs mediolaterally. Place Film so it includes full incisors. Animal should be "biting down" on film Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed Tube head Placement Distance of tube head dependent on film size (2 film=2 inches) Set tube head at angle of zero and center on incisors. Stand at side of animal and find bisecting angle using long edge of film and root of teeth. \*Feline teeth have more upright roots then canine Use tube arm to adjust tube head parallel to bisecting angle  +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Canine** | | | | **Mandibular** Premolars 1 and 2 | | | | **Bisecting Angle Technique** | +=======================================================================+ | Film placement | | | | Long edge runs rostro caudal/ short edge runs dorsoventral. | | | | Place film as ventrally/rostrally as possible. | | | | Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed. | | | | Tube head Placement | | | | Distance of tube head dependent on film size (2 film=2 inches) | | | | Center tube head on teeth being radiographed | | | | Find bisecting angle by looking from the front | | | | Move tube head so it is parrelle to bisecting angle | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Canine** | | | | **Maxillary** Premolars | | | | **Bisecting Angle Technique** | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Film placement | | | | Long edge runs latero-medially, such that the edge of the film | | reaches the palatal side of the opposite quadrant. | | | | Short edge runs rostro caudal. | | | | Film may need to be slightly angled inside the mouth | | | | Tube head Placement | | | | Distance of tube head dependent on film size | | | | Center tube head on teeth being radiographed | | | | Find bisecting angle by looking from the front | | | | Move tube head so it is parrelle to bisecting angle | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Canine** | | | | **Mandibular** Premolars 1 and 2 | | | | **Bisecting Angle Technique** | +=======================================================================+ | Film placement | | | | Long edge runs rostro caudal/ short edge runs dorsoventral. | | | | Place film as ventrally/rostrally as possible. | | | | Can secure with gauze or paper towel if needed. | | | | Tube head Placement | | | | Distance of tube head dependent on film size (2 film=2 inches) | | | | Center tube head on teeth being radiographed | | | | Find bisecting angle by looking from the front | | | | Move tube head so it is parrelle to bisecting angle | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Canine** | | | | **Maxillary** **Canine** | | | | **Bisecting Angle Technique** | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Canine** | | | | **Mandibular Canine** | | | | **Bisecting Angle Technique** | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ |  | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Feline** | | | | **Maxillary Canine** | | | | **Bisecting Angle Technique** | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Patient in true lateral | | | | Film placement | | | | - Biting on plate | | | | - Plate back as far as possible | | | | Tube head Placement | | | | - Set @ 30 degrees | | | | - Center on canine parallel to bisecting angle | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Feline** | | | | **Maxillary Premolars** | | | | **Extra Oral** | | | |  | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Patient in true lateral | | | | Side being radiographed against table | | | | Hold mouth open with radiolucent materials | | | | Film placement | | | | - Sensor under max premolars outside of mouth against table | | | | - Cusps of tooth close to edge of sensor | | | | - Ensure roots over sensor | | | | Tube head Placement | | | | - Parallel to plate | | | | - Tilt at 25 - 30 degrees from parallel placement so rays will pass | | through arcade of mouth to the tooth and bypass the zygomatic | | arch | | | | - May need to move slightly Back. | | | | \*will see some arch: goal is to isolate roots from arch\* | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | **Feline** | | | | **Maxillary Premolars** | | | | **Intra-oral Technique** | | | |  | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Patient in true lateral | | | | Film placement | | | | - Size 2 CR plate | | | | - Long end running rostro caudal | | | | - One corner against medial surface of mandibular canine, opposite | | corner against medial surface of maxillary canine of opposite | | side of mouth (EX.
