ANSWER: D tx
An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically.

tx tx tx tx
a. Heinrich Geissler tx
b. Wilhelm Roentgen tx
c. Johann Hittorf tx
d. William Crookes tx
ANSWER: B tx
Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx t x tx tx tx
x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted from
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
the negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat, and
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
resultedin a greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
cathode rays were streams of charged particles.

tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
a. Increased patient radiation exposure tx tx tx
b. Increased patient comfort tx tx
c. Increased speed for viewing images tx tx tx tx
d. Increased chemical usage tx tx
ANSWER: C tx
Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
rays than film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort. The
tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx tx
image from digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the

need for chemical processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and evaluation. The
