use an EeZee-Grip or Stabe bite-block film holder w/ the bisecting angle technique (more comfy than
XCP) - (answer)Upon placement of the XCP and film in the patient's mouth, the patient appears to be
very uncomfortable with the procedure and removes the XCP and film immediately, stating she is in
pain. She says it hurts the roof of her mouth and she can't bite down to hold it in place. What
adjustments will the dental radiographer need to make with this radiographic technique?
bisecting-angle - (answer)The __________________ technique allows the film to be placed directly
against the tooth rather than toward the middle of the oral cavity with the paralleling technique.
plastic base - (answer)Dental film contains a transparent ________________ that is made from cellulose
acetate, which is used to give the film its firm but flexible quality.
adhesive - (answer)On either side of the plastic base is an _____________ layer that is used to attach
the emulsion layer, which is where the latent image is found after exposure.
protective coating - (answer)The outermost layer of dental film is a _______________
intraoral extraoral radiation - (answer)These layers vary in different types of film. ___________ and
___________ films have an additional emulsion layer on the front and back of the base to reduce the
amount of _________ needed for exposure.
