Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Additional radiographs varying the horizontal angulation can help to clearly image proximal surfaces of malaligned or crowded teeth. This technique can help to overcome the superimposition of adjacent teeth that can occur when taking a single radiograph with a fixed horizontal angulation. Choosing a smaller receptor size or varying the vertical angulation may not necessarily provide a better view of the proximal surfaces in this situation.
