The bisecting angle technique is an older method for periapical radiography. It can be a useful alternative technique when the ideal receptor placement using the paralleling technique cannot be achieved, for reasons such as anatomical obstacles e.g. tori, shallow palate, shallow floor of mouth, or narrow arch width.

Hip scoring is a procedure used to determine the degree of hip dysplasia in dogs and other animals and reporting the findings in a standard way. The hip score is the sum of the points awarded for each of nine radiographic features of both hip joints. The British Veterinary Association uses the following criteria to determine hip score: Norberg ...
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 ...
Condylar Angle : the angle of downwards movement of the NWS condyle relative to the horizontal plane The working side (WS) condyle (also called the rotating condyle) undergoes an immediate, non-progressive lateral shift.
the angle of the mouth anteriorly, [1] the masseter muscle posteriorly, [1] the zygomatic process of the maxilla and the zygomaticus muscles superiorly, the depressor anguli oris muscle and the attachment of the deep fascia to the mandible inferiorly, the buccinator muscle medially (the buccal space is superficial to the buccinator), [1]
This photo shows teeth #2-5 (Universal numbering system).Tooth #3, the upper right first molar, has an MO (mesial-occlusal) gold inlay.This molar is both posterior, as well as distal, to the premolars in front of it.
Bite force quotient (BFQ) is a numerical value commonly used to represent the bite force of an animal adjusted for its body mass, while also taking factors like the allometry effects.
Dogs have ear mobility that allows them to rapidly pinpoint the exact location of a sound. Eighteen or more muscles can tilt, rotate, raise, or lower a dog's ear. A dog can identify a sound's location much faster than a human can, as well as hear sounds at four times the distance. [41] Dogs can lose their hearing from age or an ear infection. [42]
