radiographs are pretty much all blank
parallel
radiograph that is bisecting tecnique
occlusal
in parallelling technique, these are parallel to each other
detector, long axis of tooth
in paralleling technique, these are perpendicular to each other
long axis of tooth, xray beam
bisecting technique has the x ray beam being perpendicular to blank
imaginary line that cuts the angle between the detector and long axis of tooth in half
apices of maxillary teeth are just below this line
ala tragus
good periapical radiograph shows entire perimeter of tooth and this much of the bone beyond the apex of the tooth
1-2 mm
