        Help!  

Question
Answer
alignment of central ray beam in horizontal and vertical planes   angulation  
🗑
intraoral technique of exposing periapical films   bisecting ( bisection of the angle ) technique  
🗑
type of radiograph used in the interproximal examination   bitewing  
🗑
x-ray at center of beam   central ray  
🗑
area of the mesial or distal surfaces of a tooth that touches adjacent tooth in the same arch   contact area  
🗑
coronal portion of alveolar bone found between the teeth   crestal bone  
🗑
impairment of mental or physical functioning that usually occurs before adulthood and lasts indefinitely   developmental disability  
🗑
referring to radiographs with the proper images and necessary density contrast definition and detail for diagnostic purposes   diagnostic quality  
🗑
between two adjacent surfaces   interproximal  
🗑
cutting across or through   intersecting  
🗑
imaginary ine dividing the tooth longitudinally (vertically) into two equal halves   long axis of the tooth  
🗑
used to examine large areas of the upper or lower jaw   occlusal technique  
🗑
moving or lying in the same plane always separated by the same distance   parallel  
🗑
intraoral technique of exposing periapical and bitewing radiographs   paralleling technique  
🗑
intersecting at or forming a right angle   perpendicular  
🗑
impairment in certain funcion(s) of the body such as vision hearing or mobility   physical disability  
🗑
angel of 90 degrees formed by two lines perpendicular to each other   right angle  
🗑
for the average adult a full mouth series (FMX) consists of how many films   18 to 20  
🗑
a bitewing radiograph is used for detecting what   interproximal decay, periodontal disease, recurrent decay under restorations and the fit of metallic fillings or crowns  
🗑
a periapical radiograph is used for what   to diagnoxe pathologic conditions of the tooth,root and bone as well as tooth formation and eruption.  
🗑
which area is the region in which the number of films vary in a FMX   anterior  
🗑
what are the two basic techniques for obtaining periapical x-rays   paralleling and bisecting  
🗑
what technique provides the most accurat image with the least amount of radiation exposure to the patient   paralleling  
🗑
what technique is also known as the extension cone paralleling (XCP), right angle, or long -cone technique   paralleling  
🗑
what is the basic rule for film placement when using the paralleling technique   film must be placed in the mouth, so that it will cover teh correct teeth to be examined  
🗑
what is the basic rule for film position when using the paralleling technique   the film must be positioned parallel to the long axis of the tooth. The film, in the film hlder, must be placed away from the teeth and toward the middle of the mouth  
🗑
what is the basic rule for vertical angulation when using the paralleling technique   the central ray of the x-ray beam must be directed perpendicular ( at a right angle) to the film and the long axis of the tooth  
🗑
what is the basic rule for horizontal angulation when using the paralleling technique   the central ray of the x-ray beam must be directed through the contact areas between the teeth  
🗑
what is the basic rule for central ray when using the paralleling technique   the x-ray beam must be centered on teh film to ensure that all areas of the film are exposed  
🗑
when exposing periapical films with the paralleling technique where should you always start   with the anterior teeth ( canines and incisors )  
🗑
how do you know if your XCP instrument ( RINN, ring and rod ect ) is correctly assembled   when the film is seen centered in the middle of the aiming ring  
🗑
in what circumstances would we use the bisecting technique when taking radiographs   patients with very small mouths, children, and patients with low or flat palatal vaults  
🗑
when using the bisecting technique where do you place the film   place the film directly against the teeth to be radiographed  
🗑
what is the major disadvantage of using the bisecting technique   the image on the film is dimensionaly distorted  
🗑
what types of holders are available to use with the bisecting technique   BAI,Stabe bite block,EeZee grip film holder previously called the snap a ray  
🗑
incorrect horizontal angulation results in what   overlapped ( unopened ) contact areas  
🗑
correct horizontal angulation the central ray is directed perpendicular to the   curvatre of the arch and through the contact areas of the teeth  
🗑
when using the bisecting technique or the paralleling technique what angulation doesnt change   horizontal angualtion  
🗑
when using the bisecting technique or the paralleling technique what angulation will change   vertical angulation  
🗑
with the bisecting technique the vertical angulation is determined by what   the imaginary bisector, then central ray is directed perpendicular to the imaginary bisector  
🗑
with the paralleling technique the vertical angulation of the central ray is   directed perpendicular to the film and the long axis of the tooth  
🗑
incorrect vertical angulation result in what   an image that is not the same length as the tooth that is being x-rayed.  
🗑
what does elongated mean   the image appears longer on the xray than it is  
🗑
what does foreshortened mean   the image appears shorter on the xray than it is  
🗑
what is very critical in the bitewing technique   the angulation of the PID  
🗑
the number of bitwing films necessary is base on what   the curvature of the arch and the number of teeth present in the posterior areas  
🗑
what areas should be included on the adult premolar bitewing   distal half of the crowns of the canines, both premolars and often the firt molars on both maxillary and mandibular arches  
🗑
when taking a molar film where should you center the film   over the second molars  
🗑
what is the occlusal technique used for   to examine large areas of the upper or lower jaw  
🗑
what size of film do we use on adults when taking an occlusal radiograph   4  
🗑
what size of film do we use on children when taking an occlusal radiograph   2  
🗑
when taking a maxillary occlusal radiograph at what angle do you want the PID through the center of the film   +65 degrees  
🗑
when taking a mandibular occlusal radiograph at what angel do you want the PID to the center of the film packet   90 degrees  
🗑
what does edentulous mean   without teeth  
🗑
why would we need radiographs on an edentulous patient   detect retained root tips,impacted teeth,and lesions (cysts , tumors) to identify objects embedded in the bone, and to observe the quantity and health of the bone  
🗑
what is important to do with the milliamperage and kilovoltage and exposure time when taking radiographs on a child   they must be reduced becuase of the smaller size of the patient  
🗑
what size of film do we use for the pediatric patient   size 0  
🗑
what size of film do we use for a child with mixed dentition   size 1 or 2 film  
🗑
what can be used to aid in positioning the film during a root canal procedure   the endo ray film holder  
🗑
what qualities must a diagonostic endodontic film have   tooth is centered on the film, at least 5 mm of bone beyond the apex of the tooth is visable, image is as anatomically correct as possible`  
🗑
what must you do to help prevent the gag reflex   convey a confident attitude  
🗑
what film placement is most likely to cause the gag reflex   maxillary molar  
🗑
in extreme gag reflex patients what is another way of getting radiographs if you can not take them intraorally   extraoral radiographs , panoramic or lateral jaw films  
🗑
processed radiographs are arranged in what order   anatomic  
🗑
what must the film mount always be labeled with   the patients name, date taken,dentists name and address  
🗑
what is the labial method of mounting xrays   films are placed in the mounth with the raised dots facing up, they are viewed as if the viewer is looking diretly at the patient  
🗑
what happens to your radiograph if exposed to light before processing   turns black  
🗑
what happens to your radiograph if unexposed   will be clear  
🗑
