Question

Incorrect vertical angulation in dental radiography can indeed cause overlapping of the contacts between teeth, but this does not render the radiograph completely useless for caries detection. It primarily affects the ability to see interproximal areas clearly but does not negate the overall utility of the radiograph for detecting caries in other areas.
