Canine dental radiography.

摘要

The key to avoiding frustration when performing intraoral dental radiography in the veterinary patient is determining correct angles for x-ray tube head and dental film positioning. Please see the Foundations feature in the March 2004 issue of the Journal [J Vet Dent 21(1); 48-52, 2004] for step-by-step guidelines on how to perform the parallel and bisecting angle techniques. Previous Foundations features have also discussed basic physics, radiation safety, x-ray machine set-up, and film developing techniques. This segment of the intraoral dental radiography series will describe taking a diagnostic set of intraoral dental radiographs in the mesiocephalic dog.
