Which type of dental film is most commonly used in veterinary medicine?
The most common sizes of film used in veterinary dentistry are size 4 and size 2. Size 4 film is used for large patients, whole quadrants, or exposing full-mouth radiograph sets.
Which of the following is an example of the importance of dental radiographs?
Dental radiographs can alert your dentist to changes in your hard and soft tissues. In chil- dren, radiographs allow the dentist to see how their teeth and jawbones are developing. Like medical radiographs, dental radiographs allow your dentist to evaluate any injuries to your face and mouth.
Why is the maxillary fourth premolar almost impossible to evaluate with a single radiograph?
This technique works well in the mandibular premolar and molar regions, but does not work for maxillary dentition because the film cannot be placed exactly parallel to the teeth to be radiographed due to the presence of the hard palate and mucosa.
How do you XRAY a dog’s teeth?
To achieve oblique radiographs of the maxillary canine teeth, place the patient in sternal recumbency. Position the skull with padding so that it is parallel to the floor. The tip of the crown of the canine tooth should be placed at the corner of the sensor/film.
Which teeth on each side of the mouth in the dog have three roots?
The maxillary molars of the dog have three roots each.
What is PID in dentistry?
The X-rays then travel through the PID (positioning indicator device) where the X-ray beam exposes the receptor. The X-ray head and the PID are lead lined to contain the X-rays and prevent unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient and the operator. The PID is also called a cone. 1.
Which is the most common error in intraoral radiography?
Incorrect exposure can be caused by many factors; the most common being improper exposure settings. Improper time selection is the most likely error because most intraoral x-ray units have fixed or unchangeable milliamperage (mA) and kilovoltage (kVp) settings.
Why is the bisected angle technique used in dental radiography?
Introduction. This technique is used in areas where the parallel technique is impossible due to poor access, making the angle between tooth and film more than 15 degrees. Using this technique, a true image of the tooth length and width is obtained.
What is labial in dentistry?
Labial – surface of tooth towards lips. Lingual – surface of tooth towards tongue. Mesial – surface towards front midline. Occlusal – surface facing tooth in opposite jaw. Palatal – surface of tooth towards palate.
What do you need to know about radiography in dental practice?
