The paralleling technique in intraoral periapical radiography is based on the principle of using parallel lines and right angles to produce an accurate image of the tooth structure.This method requires the image receptor (film or sensor) to be positioned parallel to the long axis of the tooth being radiographed.To prevent image distortion (magnification or foreshortening), the central ray of the X-ray beam is then directed perpendicularly to both the image receptor and the long axis of the tooth.
Tap for Question
Answer
Principle behind paralleling technique in intraoral periapical radiography:
1) Film angled to tooth; ray perpendicular to tooth
2) Film parallel to long axis of tooth; ray perpendicular to both
3) Film parallel to long axis of tooth; ray perpendicular to both (duplicate from source)
4) Film perpendicular to long axis; ray at acute angle

  • Diatomaceous earth (an inert filler) is the largest component of alginate impression material by weight percentage. It makes up approximately 60% of the material.
  • Potassium alginate (the reactive component) is the next largest component, usually around 15-20%.
  • Calcium sulfate (the reactor) and sodium phosphate (the retarder) are present in smaller quantities.
