|---|---|
| What is the occlusal technique used to examine? | Large areas of the upper or lower jaw |
| What size receptor is used in the occlusal examination for adults? | 4 |
| Which size receptor would you use to take an occlusal image on a 3-year-old patient? | 2 |
| How is the receptor stabilized in the patient’s mouth when taking a mandibular cross-sectional occlusal projection? | The patient gently bites on the surface of the receptor. |
| When using the occlusal technique, which side of the receptor is is facing the arch that is being exposed? | The tube side |
| Where in the mouth is the receptor placed for an occlusal image? | Between the occlusal surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular teeth |
| Which of the following is a maxillary occlusal projection but not a mandibular occlusal projection? | Lateral occlusal projection |
| Which occlusal projection is used to examine the palate and the anterior teeth of the maxilla? | Topographic occlusal projection |
| Which occlusal projection is used to locate foreign bodies or salivary stones in the region of the floor of the mouth? | Cross-sectional occlusal projection |
