Question of the Day

The bisecting radiograph technique minimizes the image distortion that occurs because of an inability to place x-ray film parallel to the central axis of a tooth.

If you do not use the bisecting angle technique, a tooth may appear artificially foreshortened or elongated.

The bisecting radiograph technique is generally preferred for maxillary teeth as well as mandibular canines and incisors (the rostral mandibular teeth).
