Practice for state test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Atom | The basic unit of matter |
| Electron | The negatively charged particle in the atom |
| Energy | The ability to do work |
| Ion | An electrically charged particle |
| Matter | Anything that occupies space and has form or shape |
| Molecule | Two or more atoms that are joined by chemical bonds |
| Photon | A minute (tiny) bundle of pure energy that has no weight or mass |
| X-radiation | High-energy ionizing electromagnetic radiation |
| Nucleus | Dense core, of the atom is composed of particles known as protons and neutrons. |
| Electrically unbalanced | An atom that gains or lose an electron |
| X-rays have enough energy to push an electron out of its orbit, producing an | Ion |
| X-rays have enough energy to push an electron out of its orbit, producing an ion | In a process called ionization. |
| What are the shells in order | K, L, M, N, O, P |
| Ionization is the process | Electrons are removed from the orbital shells of electrically stable atoms through collisions with x-ray photons |
| Ion pair is when | Electron is removed from the atom |
| If the atom gains an electron | It has a negative charge |
| If the atom loses an electron | It has a positive charge |
| An atom that gains or loses an electron | Gets electrically unbalanced is called an ion |
| Converting an atom into ions is the process of | Ionization |
| Percutaneous | Needle-puncture of the skin or cut through skin |
| What does a bite wing capture | Captures the mx and md arch |
| kVP | Kilovoltage peak, Contrast, how fast is quality |
| Ma | Milliamperage, Density, how much is quantity |
| The tooth | Whole tooth & nothing but the tooth |
| Peri | Tissue surrounding the root of the tooth |
| Apical | End of Apex |
| 2-3 mm | Above and below the root apex |
| 1/8 inch | Superior of incisal or occlusal edge |
| Posterior | Yellow placed on premolars and molars vertically |
| Anterior | Blue place behind anterior teeth vertically |
| Bite wing | Place on occlusal surface of premolars and molars either vertically of horizontally |
| XCP | X-tension Cone Paralleling Ring |
| DXCP | Digital X-tension Cone Paralleling Ring |
| Parts on a XCP | Ring, Rod, and Sensor holder |
| Ring is | Non-critical (NC) |
| Rod is | Semi-critical (SC) |
| Sensor holder is | Semi-critical (SC) |
| Sensor is | Non-critical (NC) |
| Unexposed Film Appearance | Clear film with a bluish tinge |
| Premolar Bite-Wing must include | Distal 1/2 canine, all premolars present and 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 |
| Phanagioma Appearance | Patient's finger appears on the film image |
| CR | Central ray |
| Dead man switch | The X-rays do not continue after the button is pressed |
| Patient movement Appearance | Film image is distorted or blurred |
| Incorrect Vertical Angulation Appearance | Short teeth with blunted roots appear on the film (Foreshortened) |
| Dropped Film Corner Appearance | The occlusal plane appears tipped or tilted |
| Incorrect Film Placement Appearance | No apices on the film |
| Molar Bite-Wing must include | Distal 1/2 of second premolar, all molars present and both MX and MD molars, and crestal bone |
