In 1909, Charles A. Clark described a radiographic procedure for localizing impacted teeth to determining their relative antero-posterior position. [1] If the two teeth (or, by extension, any two objects, such as a tooth and a foreign object) are located in front of one another relative to the x-ray beam, they will appear superimposed on one another on a dental radiograph, but it will be ...
