Diagrammatic representation of the buccal object rule being employed. In the first radiograph ( left ), the objects appear on the film in almost the same relationship that they share in reality. But by shifting the x-ray collimator (radiation source) to one side and tilting it towards the objects ( right ), the objects appear on the film in a ...
Dental radiographs, commonly known as X-rays, are radiographs used to diagnose hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities.. A radiographic image is formed by a controlled burst of X-ray radiation which penetrates oral structures at different levels, depending on varying anatomical densities, before striking the film or sensor.
Richards has created numerous inventions, including dynamic tomography to examine layers of an object, a dental x-ray head, the molding technique to show the topography of dental surfaces, and the Buccal Object Rule to examine the location of objects. [4] Richards held six patents for his inventions and was the author of around 100 journal ...
Most of the principal terms can be combined using their corresponding combining forms (such as mesio-for mesial and disto-for distal). They provide names for directions (vectors) and axes; for example, the coronoapical axis is the long axis of a tooth. Such combining yields terms such as those in the following list.
ConeBeam computerized tomography image of a post-operative orthognathic surgery. Oral and maxillofacial radiology, also known as dental and maxillofacial radiology, or even more common DentoMaxilloFacial Radiology, is the specialty of dentistry concerned with performance and interpretation of diagnostic imaging used for examining the craniofacial, dental and adjacent structures.
Areas normally affected are lips, buccal mucosa, gingivae, frenum and tongue. The most common injuries are lips and gingivae. For lips, important to rule out presence of foreign objects in wounds and lacerations through careful examination. A radiograph can be taken to identify any potential foreign objects. [5] [6]
A useful acronym is the ‘SLOB’ rule, which stands for “same lingual opposite buccal”. This means that when looking at the radiographs from e.g. a left to right direction, if the canine has moved in the same direction, then following the “same lingual” part of the rule, the canine is positioned lingually.
A panoramic radiograph is a panoramic scanning dental X-ray of the upper and lower jaw.It shows a two-dimensional view of a half-circle from ear to ear. Panoramic radiography is a form of focal plane tomography; thus, images of multiple planes are taken to make up the composite panoramic image, where the maxilla and mandible are in the focal trough and the structures that are superficial and ...
