Dental radiography is the number one diagnostic tool in the
practice of competent dentistry. Make it easy to use and available
during dental procedures by proper provision and location
of machine, films and processing equipment.
There are two main intra-oral techniques - parallel and bisecting
angle. These techniques must be mastered in addition to the
extra-oral techniques.
Interpretation of dental radiographs requires magnification
and a range of lighting facilities. The comparative density
of dental structures compared with the contrast of background
air assists the clinician considerably.
