3. Your patient asked you why dental images are important. Which of the following is the
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




correct response?
w w




a. An oral examination with dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen
w w w w w w w w w w w w




clinically.
w




b. All dental diseases and conditions produce clinical signs and symptoms.
w w w w w w w w w

, c. Dental images are not a necessary component of comprehensive patient care.
w w w w w w w w w w




d. Many dental diseases are typically discovered only through the use of dental
w w w w w w w w w w w




images.
w




ANSWER: D w




An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically. Many
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




dental diseases and conditions produce no clinical signs and symptoms. Dental imagesare a
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




necessary component of comprehensive patient care. Many dental diseases are typically

discovered only through the use of dental images.

4. The x-ray was discovered by
w w w w




a. Heinrich Geissler w




b. Wilhelm Roentgen w




c. Johann Hittorf w




d. William Crookes w




ANSWER: B w




Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
w w w w w w w w w w w w




x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted from the
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat, and resultedin a
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were
w w w w w w w w w w w w w




streams of charged particles.

w w w w w w w w w w w w w




a. Otto Walkoff w




b. Wilhelm Roentgen w

a Bavarian physicist who discovered the x-ray. Edmund Kells exposed the first dental
w w w w w w w w w w w w w

w w w w w w w w w w w




reintroduced the paralleling technique in 1920. F. Gordon Fitzgerald modified the paralleling
w w w w w w w w w w w w




technique with the introduction of the long-cone technique. This is the technique currently
w w w w w w w w w w w w w




used. Howard Riley Raper modified the bisecting technique and introduced the bite-wing
w w w w w w w w w w w w




technique in 1925.

8. Which of the following is an advantage of digital imaging?
w w w w w w w w w




a. Increased patient radiation exposure w w w




b. Increased patient comfort w w




c. Increased speed for viewing images w w w w




d. Increased chemical usage w w




ANSWER: C w




Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-rays than
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort. The image from
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the need for chemical
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and evaluation. The image fromdigital
