INTRAORAL PERIAPICAL RADIOGRAPHY
• Intraoral Periapical (IOPA) radiographs form the backbone of dental diagnosis.
![Page 3: modifications in intreoral radiographic technique](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551e4ff8497959cf398b47b4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Two techniques for periapical radiography have been developed:
The paralleling technique
• The bisecting angle technique (most commonly used)

Overlapping of structures due to inaccurate vertical/horizontal angulations.
Non reproducible.
Film positioning relatively comfortable to the patient.
Simple and quick for the operator.
Image is adequate but not ideal for most diagnostic procedures.

BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE
Relatively easy technique and being comfortable to the patient makes the Bisecting angle technique the most commonly used technique for intraoral
periapical radiography in General dental practice.

WHEN? WHAT?? AND
HOW???
WHY??• The anatomy of the oral
cavity does not always allow all the ideal positioning requirements to be satisfied.
• In an attempt to overcome the problems, some modifications in the Radiographic technique are to be made to obtain an optimum radiograph.

MODIFICATIONS FOR PALATAL TORI
• Place film on the opposite side of palatal torus (away from teeth being radiographed)
![Page 10: modifications in intreoral radiographic technique](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551e4ff8497959cf398b47b4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Mandibular premolar region
•Reason•Floor of mouth region is very sensitive-Film causes discomfort to patient
•Modification•Film placement: under tongue to avoid impinging on muscle attachments and sensitive lingual mucosa•Film: Lower edge can be gently curved / softened.

Mandibular third molar region
Reason•Placement of film more posteriorly and to visualize the relationship of the apex of the third molar with the inferior alveolar nerve canal.
Modification•Use of surgical needle holder•Distal shift of the tube.

Problems of gagging
•Exposure factors, tube placement should be ready•One swift movement for palatal side-No sliding•Divert patient’s attention•Asking patient to concentrate on breathing deeply•Ask patient to gargle with cold water•Spraying palate with LA•Prescribed Anxiolytics - tranquilisers -diazepam

Endodontics
ReasonFilm placement and stabilization with endodontic instruments, rubber dam, clampsIdentification and separation of root canalsAssessing root canal length
ModificationTaping film to one end of wooden tongue spatulaUsing special endodontic film holders

Assessment of root canal length
•Actual length of root canal from bisecting angle technique is calculated mathematically with diagnostic instrument within canal at clinically assessed stop. Measure -radiographic tooth length -radiographic instrument length -actual instrument length
![Page 25: modifications in intreoral radiographic technique](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551e4ff8497959cf398b47b4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Formula- Actual tooth length= (Radiographic tooth length x actual instrument length) radiographic instrument length

Edentulous patientReason•Lack of height in palate / loss of lingual sulcus depth contraindicates paralleling technique•Partially dentate patients
Modification•Use of bisecting angle technique•Placement of cotton roll in edentulous area
![Page 27: modifications in intreoral radiographic technique](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081505/551e4ff8497959cf398b47b4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Children
Reason•Size of mouth and difficulty in placement of film
Modification•Paralleling technique is not possible in very small children, but recommended in anterior region for investigation of traumatized permanent incisors
