ANSWER:C D r
An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically. Many d

ANSWER:C B r
Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the x-

a. Increased patient radiation exposure r r r

ANSWER:C C r
Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
rays than film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort. The i mage
