Question 1: BW Technique. Uphill/downhill is caused by
Answer:
dropped receptor corner
Question 2: Disadvantages of Bisecting-the-Angle Technique
Answer:
The image projected on the receptor has dimensional distortion; More bodily tissues are exposed as a result of greater vertical angulation (lens of the eye, thyroid)
Question 3: Definition of Bisecting-the-angle technique
Answer:
An intraoral radiographic technique that provides a complete image of the tooth or teeth and 3-4 mm of surrounding tissue;
Question 4: Correct Horizontal Angulation
Answer:
Central ray is directed through the contact areas of the teeth to open the contacts (Paralleling, bisecting, and bitewing techniques all follow this principle)
Question 5: Common Errors associated w/the BW technique. INCORRECT RECEPTOR
PLACEMENT
Answer:
*Mesial surfaces of 1st premolars are missed; *Distal surfaces of most posterior molars are missed; *"uphill/downhill" caused by receptor rotation;
Question 6: BW Technique. Overlapping is caused by...
Answer:
incorrect horizontal angulation
Question 7: The central ray in bisecting-the-angle technique is directed...
Answer:
perpendicular to the imaginary bisector Question 8: Bisecting-the-Angle Technique: Patient Positioning
Answer:
Occlusal plane parallel with the floor for both maxillary and mandibular films
Question 9: Bitewing Radiographs, definition
Answer:
Intraoral radiographic technique that produces an image of the maxillary and mandibular teeth in occlusion, and the crestal alveolar bone
Question 10: Receptor Positioning
Answer:
Film is positioned close to the tooth with the incisal or occlusal end of the film touching the tip of the tooth
Question 11: Receptor Positioning for premolar bitewing
Answer:
Include at least the distal surfaces of the cuspid (entire mandibular cuspid if possible)
Question 12: Bitewing; Cone (PID) Positioning
Answer:
Vertical Angulation, cone points slightly downward;
Question 13: How is horizontal angulation determined for premolar bitewing
Answer:
Determined by using a Q-tip positioned between guide teeth; Place Q-tip between mandibular premolars
Question 14: Interproximal, define
Answer:
between two adjacent surfaces Question 15: This describes what type of error: Entire receptor was not covered by PID; The border can appear fuzzy or have a distinct line;
Answer:
Cone Cutting, it is a Technique Error
Question 16: Bitewing Radiographs, purpose
Answer:
To detect interproximal caries and examine the interproximal crestal bone levels
Question 17: Film creasing (crease - ???????, ?????,) caused by
Answer:
Creased conventional film caused by cracked film emulsion
Question 18: Bisect, Definition
Answer:
To divide into two equal parts;
Question 19: Bitewing image, define
Answer:
Receptor used in the interproximal examination that has a "wing" or tab
Question 20: Cone (PID) Positioning, Premolar BW; Covering the Entire Receptor
Answer:
Premolar BW: Position the PID anteriorly enough to cover the maxillary and mandibular cuspids and lateral incisors; /commisure in the middle of the cone; *middle of the cone directed @ the level of the occlusal plane;
Question 21: Patient Positioning for Posterior Bitewing Technique
Answer:
Occlusal plane of the maxilla parallel w/the floor
Question 22: Dimensional Distortion with the Bisecting-the-Angle Technique
Answer:
Paralleling: dimensional accuracy; Bisecting-the-angle: *dimensional distortion; *foreshortening of objects farthest from the film Question 23: Common Errors associated w/the BW technique. CONE POSITIONING ERRORS
Answer:
*Overlapping (superimposition of tooth surfaces caused by incorrect horizontal angulation); *Negative vertical angulation
Question 24: Bitewing; Horizontal angulation (Cone (PID) positioning) must
Answer:
open the contact areas between the teeth; determined by using the q-tip positioned between the guide teeth; Question 25: A conventional film exposed to light appears black after processing is... (what type of error? cause)
Answer:
Exposure error. Cause: exposure to white light
Question 26: 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;
Answer:
BW Technique. Incorrect Receptor Placement Question 27: BW Technique. Negative Vertical Angulation, error characterized as:
Answer:
*Cone (PID) was pointed upward; *Occlusal surfaces of maxillary teeth can be viewed; *Apical areas of mandibular teeth may be seen
