Extraoral examination
What is seen on a extraoral radiograph?
On an extraoral radiograph, the entire jaw and skull are seen. This type of radiograph is helpful in assessing overall bone structure, joint alignment, and general dental health. It can also be used to identify impacted teeth and potential bone abnormalities.
A bitewing dental film is an example of extraoral?
No. Extraoral radiograpy is when a person's head is sitting in still and the machine moves around outside of their head. Intraoral radiography is the use of bitewings to get a more detailed and specific view of a certain area of the mouth. Ok, so I'm a little bad at explaining things, hope I helped though. =)
How does extraoral film react differently from intraoral film?
Extraoral film is designed to capture images of larger areas, such as the entire jaw or skull, and is typically used in panoramic or cephalometric imaging. It is less sensitive to light than intraoral film, which is specifically designed for close-range imaging of individual teeth and is more sensitive to the X-ray exposure. Additionally, extraoral films generally require longer exposure times due to their thicker emulsion layers. In contrast, intraoral films provide greater detail and clarity for specific dental structures.
What two planes are used to position the patient to take extraoral radiographs?
The two planes used to position the patient for extraoral radiographs are the sagittal plane (divides the body into left and right sides) and the coronal plane (divides the body into front and back halves). These planes help orient the patient in the proper position for imaging.
What is the medical term meaning outer?
Extraoral is the medical term meaning outside the mouth.
An extraoral radiograph would be least likely to show what 1 Detect interproximal caries 2 Locate impacted teeth 3 View sinuses or 4 Determine the extent of a fracture?

What two planes are used to position a dental patient to take a extraoral radiograph?
To position a dental patient for an extraoral radiograph, two anatomical planes are typically used: the Frankfort horizontal plane and the midsagittal plane. The Frankfort horizontal plane is established by aligning the lower border of the eye socket (orbit) with the upper border of the external auditory meatus (ear canal). The midsagittal plane divides the body into equal left and right halves and ensures that the patient's head is symmetrically aligned for accurate imaging. Proper alignment of these planes is crucial for obtaining high-quality radiographs.
What kind of doctors deal with bad breath?
To reduce and prevent bad breath, one should regularly practice good oral hygiene by brushing their teeth regularly and flossing after every meal. One would also need to visit the dentist regularly and to stop smoking and drug use.
Which type of dental X-ray has a film placed and exposed outside of the mouth?
A panoramic dental X-ray places the film outside the mouth. It captures the entire mouth in one image, including teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures, making it helpful for spotting issues that aren't visible otherwise.
