Term | Definition |
---|---|
unexposed film appearance | clear film w/a brush tinge |
film exposed to white light appearance | film appears black |
over expoed film appearance | film appears dark |
under exposed film | film appears white |
premolar bite-wing must include | distal 1/2 canine,all premolars presentand 1st molars of the mx and md teeth ,and crestal bone |
incorrect horizontal angulation appearance | overlapped contact areas appear on the film |
cone cut appearance | a clear unexposed area on the film |
film bending appearance | film appears stretched and distorted(all or portion of it) |
film creasing appearance | a thin radiolucent dark line appears |
phalangloma appearance | patients finger appears |
double exposure | two images are superimpose on top of eachother |
patient movement | film is distorted or blurred |
incorrect vertical angulation | short teeth w/blunted roots appear(foreshortened) |
dropped film corner | the occlusal plane appears tipped or tilted |
incorrect film placement | no apices on film |
molar bitewing must include | distal 1/2 of second premolar all molars present,and both MX and MD molar,and crestal bone |
reversed film | light images w/ a herringbone pattern appear on the film |
xray machine purpose | (2)1-produce quality radiographs,2- detection of disease and lesions for diagnostic purposes |
federal regulations-1974 | US FDA standardized all manufacturing of radiographic dental equipment |
federal regulations - 1968 | radiation control for health and safety act: standardize performance of xray equipment |
state gov't reulations determine when and how dentall equipment is monitored | MN-mandotory every 2 years |
tube head or tube housing used to | produce x-rays |
extension arm used to | suspend tubehead, house electrical wires, and allows movement in all directions and positioning of the xray tubehead |
control panel used to | allows for regulation xray beam, control electricsl current for generation of xrays and house control buttons and setting |
kVp | 65-100 kVp range-peak of energy |
mA | 7-15 range-amount |
exposure time | 1/60th of a second -standard and 1/100th of a second -digital |
collimator | lead diaphragm used to restrict the size of the xray beam(round,rectangular,cone) |
xray film holders | stabe(styrofoam bite block,simpllest)xcp, bite tab, eeze grip , etc. |
beam alignment device | used to help the radiographer position the PID in relationship to the tooth and film |
xray | beam of energy |
image | picture or likeness of an object |
receptor | something that responds to a stimulus (film-sensor-(psp)phosphor storage plates |
film composition | film base,adhesice layer,film emulsion,protective layer |
film emulsion purpose and mixture | to give film greater sensitivity to x-radiation halide crystals |
latent image | stored image not visible on the film |
purpose of lead foil sheet | to prevent film fogging from scatter radiation |
periapical | examines the entire tooth |
bitwing | examines the interproximal surfacesof crowns of both MX and MD teeth w/ crestal bone |
occlusal | examines large area |
tyes of intra-oral radiographic examination | periapical , interpoxiamal,and occlusional |
periapical(purpose,film type,technique) | (purpose,film type,technique)used to examine entire tooth and supporting bone, periapical film, paralleling and bisecting technique |
interproximal(purpose,film type,technique) | examine the crown of both the mx and md teeth on a single film,and adjacent surfaces of teeth and crestal bone,bite-wng film,bute-wing technique |
occlusal(purpose,film type,technique) | examine large areas of the mx and md on a single film,occlusal film,occlusal technique. |
