| Question | Answer |
| 1. A thin black line is evident between the proximal contact area of adjacent teeth on a film. What is the most likely cause? | open contact because of the correct horizontal angle |
| 2. What does the acronym, XCP, mean? | X C P = eXtension Cone Paralleling |
| 3. What is meant by the acronym, DXTTR? | Dental X-ray Teaching Training Replica |
| 4. What is the term for an image that appears shorter on the film than it actually is? | foreshortening |
| 5. What is meant by the acronym, SFD? | Source (of x-rays) to Film Distance |
| 6. What is the easiest method (and most common) for changing the SFD? | change the PID |
| 7. What type of occlusal radiograph is best for viewing the apical areas of teeth? | topographical |
| 8. What type of occlusal radiograph is best for viewing size and shape of arch? | cross-sectional |
| 9. What is meant by obturating material? | filling for root canals |
| 10. What is the most likely cause for a patient being unable to lift his or her tongue? | ankyloglossia (tongue tied) |
| 11. Is it acceptable practice to use a tongue depressor as a film holding device? | yes |
| 12. Is it acceptable practice to have the patient position and stabilize the film with his or her fingers? | no |
| 13. What is the correct film position for parallel technique? | parallel to long axis of tooth |
| 14. What is the correct direction of the x-ray beam for parallel technique? | perpendicular to film and long axis of tooth |
| 15. Which intraoral exposures are made with the parallel technique? | periapicals |
| 16. Which intraoral exposures are made with the bisecting technique? | periapicals |
| 17. What is the correct film position for bisecting technique? | close to crown of tooth - forms and angle with the long axis |
| 18. What is the correct direction of the x-ray beam for bisecting technique? | perpendicular to bisector |
| 19. Which periapical technique will result in a radiograph of the highest diagnostic quality? | parallel |
| 20. Which periapical technique will accommodate a mouth with a very flat palate? | bisecting angle |
| 21. If the patient has a shallow floor of the mouth, describe the exposure method that is appropriate. | bisecting; flatter film postition; increase vertical anlge |
| 22. What are the benefits of dental radiographs? | diagnose conditions in early stages to save time, money and pain |
| 23. For which exposure technique is the XCP designed? | parallel |
| 24. Which exposures could be accomplished with the Snap-a-Ray? | bisecting-angle and parallel; also pedo bitewings |
| 25. Describe the use of salt for controlling gagging. | place on tongue prior to exposure |
| 26. The dental assistant is exposing a FMS and decides to use topical anesthetic to control gagging. What is the very first thing that should be done? | ask dentist to confirm use |
| 27. What amount of time does it take for the topical anesthetic to take effect? | two minutes |
| 28. Is it appropriate to use a loop tab for exposing a vertical bitewing? | no |
| 29. Is it appropriate to use a Snap-a-ray for exposing a vertical bitewing? | no |
| 30. What is the area of focus for an endodontic exposure? | apex |
| 31. Which films are typical of a FMS for a five-year-old patient? | 2 bitewings; 2 occlusals (1 upper, 1 lower, focusing on the anterior teeth |
| 32. Which information must be included on a film mount? | patient name, date of exposure, possibly the prescribing dentist |
| 33. What is the purpose for edge-eeze? | comfort to patient - covers sharp edges of film packets |
| 34. Which exposure technique is appropriate for edentulous patients? | parallel - pad the bite blocks with cotton rolls |
| 35. Which size film is appropriate for a three-year-old for exposing bitewings? | size 0 |
| 36. What adjustment in exposure time is required for a small child? | reduce by approximately 50% |
| 37. What adjustment in exposure time is required for edentulous patients? | reduce by approximately 25% |
| 38. What film holding instrument is specifically designed for exposing endodontic films? | endoray |
| 39. What is the direction of the embossed dot for buccal view mounting of radiographs? | convexity towards viewer - bump facing viewer |
