A)film sensor is placed parallel to the crowns of the teeth.
B)blue Rinn type holder is used to stabilize the film sensor in the patient's mouth.

D)angulation of the PID is not a factor in the bitewing technique.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The film sensor is placed in the mouth parallel to the crowns of both the maxillary and the mandibular teeth.
The red Rinn type holder is used to stabilize the film sensor in the patient's mouth.Red is the universal color for bitewing holders.
The central ray of the x-ray beam is directed through the contact of the teeth using +10 degrees of vertical angulation.
The angulation of the PID is critical in the bitewing technique.
