Introduction Intraoral radiography consists of methods of exposing dental x-ray film, phosphor plates, or digital sensors within the oral cavity.

Introduction Producing diagnostic quality dental radiographs depends on knowledge of and attention to: Positioning the patient in the chair Selecting a film, phosphor plate, or digital sensor of suitable size Determining how the image receptor is to be positioned and held in place

Introduction Producing diagnostic quality dental radiographs depends on knowledge of and attention to: Setting the radiation exposure variables Aiming the position indicating device (PID)

Introduction Each of these steps have specific applications for each of the three types of intraoral examinations and when using the paralleling or the bisecting technique.

Intraoral Procedures Examinations Techniques Bitewing Periapical Occlusal Techniques Bisecting Paralleling

Figure 13-1 Full mouth series Figure 13-1 Full mouth series. The 20-film radiographic survey includes four bitewing radiographs and eight anterior and eight posterior periapical radiographs.

Figure 13-2 Periapical radiograph Figure 13-2 Periapical radiograph. Posterior periapical radiograph showing (1) extensive caries, (2) apical pathology, and (3) impacted third molar. Note the use of a size #2 film and the horizontal positioning of the long dimension of the film packet for imaging the posterior regions.

Fundamentals of Shadow Casting Use the smallest possible focal spot on the target (source of radiation). The object (tooth) should be as far as practical from the target (source of radiation). The object (tooth) and the image receptor (film, phosphor plate, or digital sensor) should be as close to each other as possible.

Fundamentals of Shadow Casting The object (tooth) and the image receptor (film, phosphor plate, or digital sensor) should be parallel to each other. The radiation (central ray) must strike both the object (tooth) and the image receptor (film, phosphor plate, or digital sensor) at right angles (perpendicularly).

Fundamentals of Shadow Casting Bisecting technique — often not possible to position the image receptor parallel to the object, preventing the radiation from striking the object and the image receptor at right angles. Paralleling technique — the distance between the object and the image receptor is often greater than ideal in most regions of the oral cavity.

Figure 13-4 Principle of the paralleling technique Figure 13-4 Principle of the paralleling technique. Positioning the recording plane parallel to the long axis of the tooth and directing the x-ray beam perpendicular to both the recording plane and the long axis of the tooth produces an image with less distortion.

Figure 13-5 Principle of the bisecting technique Figure 13-5 Principle of the bisecting technique. The x-ray beam is directed perpendicular to the imaginary line that bisects the angle formed by the recording plane and the long axis of the tooth. Because the tooth is a three–dimensional object, the part of the object farthest from the recording plane is projected in an incorrect relationship to the parts closest to the recording plane. (Courtesy of Dentsply Rinn.)

The Radiographic Examination Occlusal radiographs: size #4 film or phosphor plate is used (for adults) Horizontal bitewing: size #3 film or phosphor plate (for adults) Bitewing and periapical radiographs: any of the three intraoral film, phosphor plates, or digital sensor sizes (#0, #1, #2) or any combination of these sizes (for adults, adolescents, and children)

The Radiographic Examination The size of the image receptor selected for use depends on: The age of the patient The size of the oral cavity The shape of the dental arches The presence or absence of unusual conditions or anatomical limitations

The Radiographic Examination The size of the image receptor selected for use depends on: The patient’s ability to tolerate placement of the image receptor The image receptor positioner or holder and technique used Image receptor number and size for a full mouth series of bitewing and periapical radiographs varies among practices.

Horizontal and Vertical Angulation Procedures Horizontal angulation Vertical angulation Positive Negative

Figure 13-8 Horizontal angulation Figure 13-8 Horizontal angulation. Horizontal angulation is determined by directing the x-ray beam directly through the interproximal spaces perpendicular to the mean tangent of theteeth. The image receptor must be positioned parallel to the teeth of interest so that the central ray will also strike the image receptor perpendicularly.

Figure 13-9 Vertical angulation Figure 13-9 Vertical angulation. Diagram showing patient sitting in the recommended position upright in dental chair with midsagittal plane perpendicular to and occlusal plane parallel with the floor. Zero angulation is achieved when the long axis of the PID is directed parallel with the floor. All angulations achieved with the PID pointed toward the floor are called positive, or plus angulations. All angulations achieved with the PID is pointed toward the ceiling are called negative, or minus angulations. Generally a positive angle is used for bitewing exposures and periapical exposures of the maxilla, and a negative angle is used for periapical exposures of the mandible.

Points of Entry The image receptor must be centered within the beam of radiation to avoid cone cut error, where a portion of the image is not recorded on the radiograph. The point of entry for the central ray should be in the middle for the image receptor.

Film Holders and Image Receptor Positioners Image receptor holders or positioners: Film holders; holders designed to position a phosphor plate or digital sensor Receptor holders or positioners hold the image receptor in place to expose intraoral radiographs.

Note the mirror-image assembly of these posterior periapical film holders. Assembly A is used for exposures on the maxillary right and the mandibular left, whereas assembly B is used for exposures on the maxillary left and on the mandibular right.

Color-coded pins on the metal arm match the colored inserts on the plastic ring. When matched with the appropriate biteblocks, it can be configured for exposures in all regions of the oral cavity with either film or digital sensors.

Preparations and Seating Positions Unit preparation Patient preparation Patient seating position

Figure 13-14 Patient positioning Figure 13-14 Patient positioning. The patient is positioned with the head supported against the headrest with the (A) occlusal plane parallel to the floor and the (B)midsaggital plane perpendicular to the floor.

Figure 13-15 Head divided by midsagittal plane and occlusal plane Figure 13-15 Head divided by midsagittal plane and occlusal plane. The midsagittal plane (A–B) must be perpendicular to the floor, and the occlusal plane (C) must be parallel with the floor unless an image receptor with an external aiming device is used. The lines O–X and X–Y are the lines of orientation for the maxillary teeth, also known as the ala–tragus line. The apices of the roots of the maxillary teeth are located close to this line.

Review: Chapter Summary The three types of intraoral radiographic procedures are the bitewing, periapical, and occlusal surveys. Both the bisecting and the paralleling techniques are used to produce a shadow image of the tooth on the radiograph.

Review: Chapter Summary The size and number of image receptors used for exposure of a full mouth radiographic survey depends on several factors. The horizontal angulation is determined by directing the central rays of the x-beam perpendicular to the plane of the image receptor through the mean tangent of the embrasures between the teeth of interest.

Review: Chapter Summary With negative vertical angulation, the PID is pointing down toward the floor. With position vertical angulation, the PID is pointing up toward the ceiling. The point of entry is used to center the image receptor within the beam of radiation.

Review: Chapter Summary Film holders are designed for use with the paralleling or the bisecting technique or may be modified to use with both techniques. An exposure sequence is recommended to avoid error and be efficient.
