what should be visible in maxillary occlusal view? | occlusal surfaces of the maxillary arch, incisal edges should be at the top of the frame with the median palatine suture dividing the left and right side of the frame, distal surface of the first molar visible and additional posterior teeth. no natural |
what is the position of the patient in maxillary occlusal view? | patient parallel to the floor, head slightly lower than the feet, tilt head far back as possible, mouth opened wide and tongue realized against the mandibular lingual surfaces |
what is the operators position in maxillary occlusal view | stand behind the patient in the 12:00 position assistant is at 9:00 |
what is the position of the mirror in the maxillary occlusal view? | occlusal mirror is used, inserted posteriorly until he posterior borders of the mirror rest on the maxillary tuberosity, rest opposite side of the mirror on the mandibular incisors avoiding lower lip, press down with index finger |
what should be in the mandibular occlusal view? | occlusal surfaces of the mandibular arch, incisal edges should be at the top of the frame with the lingual frenum dividing the left and right side of the frame. Distal surface of the first molar visible and additional posterior teeth. no natural teeth |
what is the patient position for the mandibular occlusal view? | patient supine in the chair with the mandible pointing slightly up, mouth opened and tongue placed behind the mirror, patient turned towards you and lift chin |
what is the operator position for the mandibular occlusal view? | stand in front of the patient in 9:00 assistant is in 12:00 |
how are the retractors positioned for the mandibular occlusal view? | one retractor is used handle rotated downward to retract the lower lip two gloved fingers can also be used to retract the lower lip |
how are the mirrors positioned for the mandibular occlusal view? | occlusal mirror is inserted posteriorly until the posterior borders of the mirror rest on the retromolar pad. rest the opposite side of the mirror on the maxillary incisors and press up on the mirror with your index finger |
what should be present in the mandibular anterior lingual view? | lingual view of the mandibular anterior teeth and gingiva from the distal of the right canine to the distal of the left canine, incisal edges of the teeth should be close to the top of the frame and the midline should be centered, no natural teeth |
