Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cause of overlap error, particularly when it appears more severe in the distal or posterior region of the image, is due to the horizontal angulation being directed obliquely from the mesial. Proper horizontal angulation aims to align the x-ray beam perpendicular to the curvature of the arch and the tooth surfaces being imaged to avoid overlap of the teeth on the radiograph.
