Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the patient's chin is positioned too low during the panoramic exposure, both the mandibular incisors will appear blurred and the condyles will not be visible in the radiograph. Hence, option D is the correct answer. When the chin is too low, the vertical angulation is increased, leading to a more inferior projection of the mandible, and the condyles are pushed out of the exposure area. Additionally, the blurred appearance of the mandibular incisors is due to the increased distortion caused by the extra angulation. The posterior apical regions may still be visible, but the overall quality of the radiograph will be suboptimal due to the incorrect positioning.
