The bisection of the angle technique is based on the geometric principle of equally dividing a triangle.In contrast to the paralleling technique,in which you move the image receptor away from the teeth to make the film and the teeth parallel,the bisecting technique places the film directly against the teeth to be exposed.Thus,the film and the teeth are not parallel,but are at an angle.
The film sensor size is the same whether using the paralleling or the bisecting technique.
The film sensor speed is not determined by the imaging technique selected.
The film sensor placement is the primary difference between the paralleling and bisecting technique.
