Basic principles

Types

Periapical Bite wing occlusal

Full mouth set

Periapical radiography

Radiographic technique of oral structure taken by placing film in oral cavity while X ray source is outside oral cavity.

Paralleling technique Bisecting angle technique

Indication

Apical lesion ,cyst & apical surgery Dental caries Mixed dentition analysis Pulp pathology Periodontal status Trauma Unerupted tooth Endodontic treatment & implant

prosthesis

Limitation

Trismus Gagging Large cyst & tumours Two dimensional image

Occlusal radiography/sandwich radiography

Intra oral technique in which large occlusal areas of maxilla & mandible is recorded.

Indication

Trismus Precise location of roots,

supernumerary, unerupted, & impacted teeth.

Calculi in salivary gland duct Maxillary sinus Trauma Size & extend of cyst & tumours Position of unerupted canine

Two radiograph technique

Modified X ray cone technique

Gagging /retching

Area sensitive to gagging

management

Attitude Time limit < Exposure sequence – anterior Divert attention Application of LA spray, undiluted

mouth wash,placebo medicines,ice cold water,table salts

Use Bite block & film holding device

Place film packet flat on occlusal plane

Endodontics

Taping film packet

Special endodontic film holder Endo ray film holder

Two different radiographs for separation of root canal

Thin apex Small X ray beam & low KV Rubber dam & saliva ejector

Root length assesment

Edentulous ridge

Paralleling technique with cotton rolls

Paediatric patient

Film size – 0 < 10 yrs – 50% reduce mA ,10 to 15

yrs – 25% reduce mA Show & tell approach Iead apron & thyroid collar.

Modified bisected angle technique

Reverse bite wing radiography

Object localization

Foreign objects Salivary gland stones Canal position Impacted teeth Root piece Broken needle

Buccal object rule/Clark rule/tube shift cone/SLOB

Principle of parallex
