What is vertical angle? Vertical angle refers to the position the Position Indicating Device (PID or cone) is along the coronal and/or sagittal planes. A zero degree vertical angle is when the PID is positioned parallel with the axial plane. A positive vertical angle is when the source of radiation […]
This week I have a case of a microdont. Microdonts are fun to see on radiograph as it’s just a mini-tooth. Microdonts are commonly associated with third molars and maxillary lateral incisors. When a maxillary lateral incisor is a microdont it is frequently referred to as a peg lateral due […]
What is horizontal angle? Horizontal angle refers to the position the Position Indicating Device (PID or cone) is along the axial plane. Horizontal angle can be increased or decreased. A zero degree horizontal angle is when the PID is positioned parallel with the sagittal plane. Increasing horizontal angle moves it towards […]
