1) Don't force unit arm to be extended
2)Don't leave the arm extended after use
Care of x-ray unit 3) allow 5 seconds between exposures to let the tube cool
4) Don't let the tube head hit the wall
5) always turn off unit when finished
Inverse Square Law Using a longer target object diminishes intensity of radiation
Central ray must pass through the teeth
parallel to the proximal surfaces
Horizontal angulation (Parallel Technique)
Vertical Angulation (Parallel Technique) The film is parallel to the long axis of the teeth
Vertical angulation too low
Elongation
Vertical angulation too high
Foreshortening
Result of incorrect horizontal angualtion
Overlapping
