Dental radiology mounting exercises

What are the methods of mounting dental radiographs?
Anterior films are always placed vertically.
Posterior films are always placed horizontally.
The identification dot on the film is always placed in the slot of the film holder (dot in the slot).
The film holder is always positioned away from the teeth and toward the middle of the mouth..
What is mounting in radiology?
Radiographs are mounted so that the raised part of the embossed dot faces the dental specialist.
In this way the radiographs are viewed from the facial aspect in correct anatomical order. a.
Maxillary and mandibular radiographs may be identified by the anatomy of the teeth and surrounding structures..
What is the difference between labial mounting and lingual mounting?
Labial mounting is more commonly used and involves attaching the maxillary cast with the labial side facing outward, while lingual mounting involves attaching the maxillary cast with the lingual side facing outward..
What is the first step in mounting radiographs?
The first step when mounting is to determine whether the radiographs correspond to maxillary or mandibular dentition and rotate them as needed, with the maxillary teeth pointed downward and mandibular teeth pointed upward..
What is the labial mounting method?
If you mount the radiographs so that the raised portion of the dot is toward you, you are looking at the film as if you were facing the patient, the patient's left side is on your right.
This is called labial mounting..
What is the parallel mounting technique?
Paralleling Technique – Lower teeth
Chin up, corner of the mouth-tragus of ear, parallel to the floor i.e. lower occlusal plane.
At distance for access and brought to the skin for exposure.
The cotton wool is placed in the mouth after positioning the film across the arch like a cigarette..
Ideal positioning requirements
The tooth and the image receptor should be parallel to one another.
The image receptor should be positioned with its long axis vertically for incisors and canines, and horizontally for premolars and molars with sufficient receptor beyond the apices to record the apical tissues.
