Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the MSP of the head is angled 15 degrees toward the IR, the CR angle for axiolateral projection of the mandible should be adjusted by 10 degrees cephalic. This will ensure that the mandible is correctly positioned on the IR and provide optimal image quality. A caudal angle would not be appropriate in this scenario. A 25-degree angle would be too steep and could cause unwanted distortion of the mandible.
