ALREADY GRADED A+ 2026
A dental imaging examination of an edentulous patient is
used to detect the presence of all of the following, except
one. Which one is the exception? - ANSWERS-Dental caries
Which statement is NOT true regarding the receptors used
for the paralleling technique? - ANSWERS-Size 1 receptor is
bent to permit placement in the palate.
During panoramic imaging, the dental radiographer asks the
patient to swallow once, close the lips around the bite-
block, and lift the tongue to the palate, because this action
helps prevent the formation of a dark radiolucent shadow. -
ANSWERS-Both the statement and reason are correct and
related
,The projection used to image a lesion located in the
posterior region of the mandible is the - ANSWERS-lateral
jaw projection
Which condition is NOT evaluated using panoramic imaging?
- ANSWERS-Periodontal diseases
To achieve parallelism between the receptor and the tooth,
a dental radiographer should place the receptor - ANSWERS-
Away from the tooth
Which step is NOT followed by the dental radiographer
while using the paralleling technique? - ANSWERS-Central
ray of the x-ray is directed away from tooth contacts.
What is the cause of a dropped receptor corner during the
periapical technique? - ANSWERS-The edge of the receptor
placed askew from the incisal-occlusal surfaces of teeth
The beam should be centered on the ramus of the mandible
while imaging the impacted third molar of a patient.
, The beam should be directed to a point just below the
inferior border of the mandible when using the lateral jaw
projection-body of mandible technique. - ANSWERS-Both
statements are true
The component of a panoramic unit that restricts the size
and shape of the x-ray beam is the - ANSWERS-collimator
When exposing the periapical receptors using panoramic
imaging, which is the reason for starting the procedure with
the anterior teeth? (Select the three that apply.) -
ANSWERS--Anterior placements are more tolerable.
-Receptors used for anterior exposures are more
comfortable.
-Anterior placements allow patient to become accustomed
to the beam alignment device.
Which steps do the dental healthcare personnel take to
minimize the development of nonallergic dermatitis that is
caused by frequent hand washing and use of gloves? (Select
the two that apply.) - ANSWERS--Use powder-free gloves
