WHEN? WHAT?? AND HOW??? OF
MODIFICATIONS IN INTRAORAL PERIAPICAL
RADIOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE.
INTRAORAL PERIAPICAL RADIOGRAPHY
• Intraoral Periapical (IOPA) radiographs form the backbone of dental diagnosis.
Two techniques for periapical radiography have been developed:
The paralleling technique
• The bisecting angle technique (most commonly used)
X-ray beamX-ray beam
DISADVANTAGESDISADVANTAGESADVANTAGESADVANTAGES
Distortion (foreshortening, elongation, magnification).
Overlapping of structures due to inaccurate vertical/horizontal angulations.
Non reproducible.

Overlapping of structures due to inaccurate vertical/horizontal angulations.
Non reproducible.
Film positioning relatively comfortable to the patient.
Simple and quick for the operator.
Image is adequate but not ideal for most diagnostic procedures.

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE
Relatively easy technique and being comfortable to the patient makes the Bisecting angle technique the most commonly used technique for intraoral
periapical radiography in General dental practice.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE
1SCENE
PROS vs CONS
WHEN? WHAT?? AND
HOW???
WHY??• The anatomy of the oral
cavity does not always allow all the ideal positioning requirements to be satisfied.
• In an attempt to overcome the problems, some modifications in the Radiographic technique are to be made to obtain an optimum radiograph.
WHEN?
Shadow of malar bone Bony growth Mandibular premolar
region Ankyloglossia Mandibular third molar
region
Gagging Endodontics Edentulous alveolar
ridges Children Handicapped patients
Shadow of malar boneLe Master’s TechniqueA cotton roll is fastened to front side of film, against palatal surface of molars making mean plane of film more parallel to plane of toothVertical angulation is decreased
SHADOW OF MALAR BONE
LE MASTER’S TECHNIQUE FOR ESCAPING THE SHADOW OF MALAR BONE
palatal torus
MODIFICATIONS FOR PALATAL TORI
• Place film on the opposite side of palatal torus (away from teeth being radiographed)
mandibular torus
• Place film between torus and tongue, making sure it doesn’t rest on top of torus
MODIFICATIONS FOR LINGUAL TORI
Mandibular premolar region
•Reason•Floor of mouth region is very sensitive-Film causes discomfort to patient
•Modification•Film placement: under tongue to avoid impinging on muscle attachments and sensitive lingual mucosa•Film: Lower edge can be gently curved / softened.
MODIFICATIONS FOR MANDIBULAR PREMOLAR REGION
Edge-Ease tissue
protectors
Sponge tissue protector-peel off backing that exposes sticky surface to adhere to film packet
Using the tongueblade to support the film for ankyloglossia
lingual frenum
portion of tongue superimposed over roots
MODIFICATIONS FOR ANKYLOGLOSSIA (TONGUE TIE)
Mandibular third molar region
Reason•Placement of film more posteriorly and to visualize the relationship of the apex of the third molar with the inferior alveolar nerve canal.
Modification•Use of surgical needle holder•Distal shift of the tube.
IDEAL FILM POSITIONING FOR MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLAR: OCCLUSAL VIEW
IDEAL FILM POSITIONING FOR MANDIBULAR THIRD
MOLAR: SIDE VIEW
USE OF NEEDLE HOLDER
EXTERNAL CENTERING POINT FOR MANDIBULAR
THIRD MOLARS
Problems of gagging
•Exposure factors, tube placement should be ready•One swift movement for palatal side-No sliding•Divert patient’s attention•Asking patient to concentrate on breathing deeply•Ask patient to gargle with cold water•Spraying palate with LA•Prescribed Anxiolytics - tranquilisers -diazepam
Endodontics
ReasonFilm placement and stabilization with endodontic instruments, rubber dam, clampsIdentification and separation of root canalsAssessing root canal length
ModificationTaping film to one end of wooden tongue spatulaUsing special endodontic film holders
Assessment of root canal length
•Actual length of root canal from bisecting angle technique is calculated mathematically with diagnostic instrument within canal at clinically assessed stop. Measure -radiographic tooth length -radiographic instrument length -actual instrument length
Formula- Actual tooth length= (Radiographic tooth length x actual instrument length) radiographic instrument length
Edentulous patientReason•Lack of height in palate / loss of lingual sulcus depth contraindicates paralleling technique•Partially dentate patients
Modification•Use of bisecting angle technique•Placement of cotton roll in edentulous area
Children
Reason•Size of mouth and difficulty in placement of film
Modification•Paralleling technique is not possible in very small children, but recommended in anterior region for investigation of traumatized permanent incisors
Handicapped patients
Reason•Patient’s cooperation
Modification•Use of paralleling technique
• Trauma • Neurologic deficit patients
