Question
Answer
The bisecting technique aka   show
🗑
Definition of Bisecting-the-angle technique   show
🗑
Advantages of Bisecting-the-Angle Technique   show
🗑
Disadvantages of Bisecting-the-Angle Technique   show
🗑
Dimensional Distortion with the Bisecting-the-Angle Technique   show
🗑
show Figure that is formed by two lines diverging or separating from a common point;  
🗑
Bisect, Definition   show
🗑
show Imaginary Line that divides the tooth vertically into two equal parts;  
🗑
show Central portion of the primary beam from the x-ray tubehead  
🗑
show rule of isometry (two triangles are equal if they have two equal angles and share a common side)  
🗑
show Theintraoral rcptr is placd alongthe lingl srfce oftooth (edge ofthrcptr touches theincsl/occl portion ofthetooth) *the radigrphr must vislze a line that divds/bisects theangle formed bythe image receptr & thelong axis ofthetooth(line is imagnry bisector)  
🗑
The central ray in bisecting-the-angle technique is directed...   show
🗑
show Snap-A-Ray can be used for bisecting, or paralleling in the mandibular premolar area  
🗑
Correct Horizontal Angulation   show
🗑
show Overlapped contact areas Superimposition of tooth surfaces  
🗑
Bisecting Technique. Vertical Angulation   show
🗑
Foreshortening in Bisecting-the-Angle technique is caused by   show
🗑
show insufficient vertical angulation;  
🗑
Bisecting-the-Angle Technique. Errors associated with receptor positioning   show
🗑
Bisecting-the-Angle Technique: Errors associated with cone (PID) positioning   show
🗑
Bisecting-the-Angle Technique: Patient Positioning   show
🗑
Receptor Positioning   show
🗑
show Intraoral radiographic technique that produces an image of the maxillary and mandibular teeth in occlusion, and the crestal alveolar bone  
🗑
show To detect interproximal caries and examine the interproximal crestal bone levels  
🗑
Interproximal, define   show
🗑
Bitewing image, define   show
🗑
Crestal Bone (alveolar crest)   show
🗑
show Crestal bone (alveolar crest)  
🗑
show Area of the tooth that touches an adjacent tooth  
🗑
show *Receptor is placed parallel to the crowns of the max & mand teeth; *Receptor is stabilized when the pt bites down on the tab: *Central Ray of the X-Ray beam is directed to open the contact areas between the teeth, using a +8 degree vertical angulation  
🗑
Patient Positioning for Posterior Bitewing Technique   show
🗑
show Include at least the distal surfaces of the cuspid (entire mandibular cuspid if possible)  
🗑
show One tooth's width past the most posterior molar;  
🗑
show Vertical Angulation, cone points slightly downward;  
🗑
show open the contact areas between the teeth; determined by using the q-tip positioned between the guide teeth;  
🗑
How is horizontal angulation determined for premolar bitewing   show
🗑
How is horizontal angulation determined for molar bitewing?   show
🗑
Cone (PID) Positioning, Premolar BW; Covering the Entire Receptor   show
🗑
show Molar BW: Position the PID anteriorly enough to capture the maxillary and mandibular second premolars; *Anterior portion of the cone is at the commisure; *Middle of the cone directed at the level of the occlusal plane  
🗑
show *Incorrect Receptor Placement; *Cone positioning errors (Overlapping, Negative vertical angulation); *Overexposed receptor; *Underexposed receptor  
🗑
show *Mesial surfaces of 1st premolars are missed; *Distal surfaces of most posterior molars are missed; *"uphill/downhill" caused by receptor rotation;  
🗑
Error characterized as such is caused by: *Mesial surfaces of 1st premolars are missed; *Distal surfaces of most posterior molars are missed; *"uphill/downhill" caused by receptor rotation;   show
🗑
Common Errors associated w/the BW technique. CONE POSITIONING ERRORS   show
🗑
show Cone positioning errors  
🗑
BW Technique. Overlapping is caused by...   show
🗑
show dropped receptor corner  
🗑
show *Cone (PID) was pointed upward; *Occlusal surfaces of maxillary teeth can be viewed; *Apical areas of mandibular teeth may be seen  
🗑
show Overexposed receptor appears dark. Causes: *Exposure time too long; *kVp setting too high; *mA setting too high  
🗑
Underexposed receptor appears... Causes:   show
🗑
A conventional film exposed to light appears black after processing is... (what type of error? cause)   show
🗑

🗑
show Double Exposure, Technique error;  
🗑
