Tilting or angling the image receptor can result in a slanted or tilted occlusal plane. This can be avoided by positioning the edge of the image receptor parallel to the occlusal plane. Using a cotton roll to stabilize the image receptor holder can help prevent movement during exposure, but it is not related to the slanting of the occlusal plane. Orienting the image receptor vertically or placing it in the mouth backward can also result in a distorted image, but they do not specifically result in a slanted occlusal plane.
