✔✔ASA 5 - ✔✔Moribund patient not expected to survive for more than 24 hours without
surgery.
✔✔ASA 6 - ✔✔Brain dead pt.
✔✔Radiolucency - ✔✔Dark areas on the film. Produced by less dense structures that
allows the passage of x-rays. (i.e. cysts)
, ✔✔Radiopaque - ✔✔Light areas on the film. Produced by denser structures. (i.e.
Lamina Dura)
✔✔Overlap - ✔✔inappropriate horizontal angulation
✔✔Foreshortening - ✔✔too much vertical angulation

✔✔Mark across film - ✔✔bent film
✔✔Circular white boarder on film - ✔✔Cone cut
✔✔Herringbone or waffle pattern on film - ✔✔backwards film
✔✔Darker film with outlines of many teeth - ✔✔double exposure
✔✔Film too dark - ✔✔too much development time; temperature too high
✔✔Film too light - ✔✔not enough development time; temperature too low
✔✔Cracked emulsion - ✔✔sudden temperature change between developer and fixer.
✔✔Darker areas - ✔✔developing solution touches film before processing procedure.
✔✔Lighter areas - ✔✔fixer solution touches film before processing procedure.
✔✔Yellow/brown stains on film - ✔✔exhausted solutions or insufficient washing.
✔✔Straight white border on film - ✔✔developer cutoff caused by incomplete immersion
of film into developer.
✔✔Straight black border - ✔✔fixer cutoff caused by incomplete immersion of film into
fixer.
✔✔Outline border of another film - ✔✔Films stuck together in solutions.
✔✔White spots on film - ✔✔air bubbles trapped during processing.
✔✔Thin, black, branchlike lines on film - ✔✔Static lines caused by low humidity and
opening film packet too quickly.
