Tips and Education for Better Intraoral Imaging
The goal of dental radiology is to obtain high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure and keeping every patient as comfortable as possible. Consider how these tips may assist in challenging situations.
- Know what to choose based on anatomical challenge.
- The paralleling technique using aiming devices is recommended for fewer errors and retakes.
- The bisecting angle technique using media holders are recommended for patients with anatomical challenges, and during endodontic and implant procedures.
- Use the largest sensor possible to obtain maximum information.
- Have a protocol in place for when to switch to a smaller sensor.
- Place in the center of the mouth for the paralleling technique.
- Use cotton rolls, especially in vertical positions and edentulous areas.
- Place the sensor parallel to the teeth.
- Use the indicator slot to align with interproximal spaces on bitewings.
- Align the central beam through the contact areas.
- Adjust vertical angulation on bitewings to capture adequate bone levels.
- With premolar bitewings, to capture the distal of the canine, adjust the media approximately 15 degress distomesial.
