Dental Radiography I

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is intraoral radiographic examination?   Production of radiographs for the purpose of inspecting the teeth and adjacent anatomical structures;  
🗑
What does intraoral radiographic examination utilize?   It utilizes intraoral image receptors: film, sensors, plate  
🗑
What are the 3 types of the intraoral radiographic examination?   Periapical examination, interproximal examination, occlusal examination;  
🗑
Periapical radiographic examination. What does "periapical" mean?   Captures the image of the entire tooth (including crown and root(s)) and the surrounding bone;  
🗑
What is captured in interproximal examination?   Interproximal examination captures images of the crowns of the maxillary and mandibular teeth in occlusion;  
🗑
Radiographs taken in interproximal examination are named   Bitewings  
🗑
Production of radiographs for the purpose of inspecting the teeth and the adjacent anatomical structures;   Intraoral Radiographic Examination  
🗑
Occlusal examination   provides a broad view of several teeth on the maxilla or mandible;  
🗑
Occlusal examination used for:   Screening; presence and position of permanent teeth;  
🗑
Receptor size used for occlusal examination?   Adult - 4; child - size 2  
🗑
Complete Mouth Radiographic Series, Define   Series of intraoral radiographs that capture images of all of the teeth and the surrounding structures of the mandible and maxilla;  
🗑
How many radiographs in a Complete Mouth Series   14-20; includes edentulous and dentulous areas  
🗑
VTC Complete Mouth Survey includes what teeth   Incisors, Canines, Premolars, Molar and Posterior Bitewings  
🗑
Types of Paralleling Technique; Name Variations   (XCP) Extension Cone Paralleling technique, long-cone technique, right-angle technique  
🗑
Long-cone technique   Target (tungsten target in the tubehead) to receptor distance is increased, resulting in increased definition and less image magnification;  
🗑
Paralleling technique. Definition.   Intraoral Radiographic Technique in which the receptor is placed parallel to the long axis of the tooth and the central ray is directed perpendicular to the tooth and receptor;  
🗑
Intraoral radiographic technique, in which the receptor is placed parallel to the long axis of the tooth and the central ray is directed perpendicular to the tooth and receptor;   Definition of paralleling technique  
🗑
Parallel, define   moving or lying in the same plane  
🗑
Perpendicular, define   Intersecting lines that form the right angle;  
🗑
Principles of the paralleling technique   *Based on theconcept of prlllsm *Receptor is plcd inthe mouth prllel tothe long axis ofthe tooth*Central ray ofthe x-ray beamis directed perpndclr tothe long axis ofthe tooth andthe receptor*Areceptor holder mustbe used toholdthe film/plate/sensor inplace  
🗑
In paralleling technique receptor must be positioned ... the tooth   away from the tooth; Increased object-receptor distance;  
🗑
Advantages of the paralleling technique   *Forms an image on the receptor w/linear & dimensional accuracy (poss to diagnose & eval caries & height of alveolar bone on all radiographs, not just BW) *Low vertical agnulation (+/- 10 degr) reduces radiation exposure to the thyroid gland & lens of eye  
🗑
Disadvantages of the paralleling technique   some difficulty in placement & increased discomfort for the patient caused by the devices (XCPs) used to hold the receptor parallel to the long axis of the tooth; devices are bulky;  
🗑
Anterior XCP & Posterior XCP include what parts?   Bite block, aiming ring, metal indicator arm  
🗑
Other receptor holding devices   Stabe (styrofoam bite block); Snap-A-Ray  
🗑
Styrofoam bite block known as   Stabe  
🗑
Paralleling technique when taking the X-Ray on the maxilla   Occlusal plane parallel with the floor; *Ala-tragus line parallel w/the floor  
🗑
Paralleling technique when taking the X-Ray of the mandible   occlusal plane parallel w/the floor  
🗑
Horizontal angulation of the X-Ray unit controlled by...   moving the Yoke Horizontal angulation, "side-to-side"  
🗑
Vertical angulation of the X-Ray unit controlled by   moving the tubehead vertical angulation "up and down"  
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning Errors   *Overlapping; *Elongation; *Foreshortening; Cone cutting; * Absence of apical structures; *Dropped receptor corner;  
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning Errors, Overlapping; WHY, HOW TO AVOID   *Horizontal angulation error; A cotton-tip applicator must be used to open the contacts between the guide teeth;  
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning Errors, Elongation; WHY, HOW TO AVOID   *Vertical angulation error: vertical angulation is too flat; corrected by increasing the vertical angulation  
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning Errors, Foreshortening; WHY, HOW TO AVOID   *Vertical angulation error: vertical angulation is to steep; Corrected by decreasing the vertical angulation;  
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning Errors, Cone cutting; WHY, HOW TO AVOID   *Avoid cone cutting by covering the entire receptor with cone positioning; * The portion of the receptor that is not exposed to x-radiation appears white after receptor processing; *The border can be well-defined or fuzzy;  
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning Errors, Absence of apical structures; WHY, HOW TO AVOID   Correction: Make sure the pt is biting down on the bite block; Make sure that no more than an 1/8 inch of the receptor extends beyond the occlusal/incisal edges of the teeth;  
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning Errors, Dropped receptor corner; WHY, HOW TO AVOID   Dropped receptor corner "Uphill/downhill"; Edge of the receptor not placed parallel to the occlusal/ incisal tooth surfaces; film was placed crooked in the mouth  
🗑
Periapical image of the mandibular premolar, Paralleling technique   Sensitive area, have the pt lift their tongue, tip the receptor away from the tongue;  
🗑
Radiodense   the degree of darkness of an exposed receptor; reference is to the entire receptor  
🗑
Radiolucent   The portion of an exposed receptor that appears dark; *allows more x-rays to reach the receptor: little attenuation (истощение, ослабление, weakening) of the X-ray beam; The less dense the structure -the more radiolucent it is. (Periodontal ligament, etc)  
🗑
Radiopaque   the portion of the exposed receptor that appears light; Dense materials/objects limit the amount of x-rays that reach the receptor: high attenuation (истощение, ослабление, weakening) of the x-ray beam;  
🗑
