5.6 Occlusal X-rays

Single exposure image
For a small child, you may be able to use the sensor placed lengthwise from right to left
and capture the necessary information in one exposure.
Dual exposure image
In some cases, you may need to place the sensor width wise, from anterior to posterior,
on half of the arch, and then repeat for the other half.
In both cases, place the sensor parallel to the occlusal plane and add a cotton roll for
protection, comfort, and support. Ask the child to close their mouth gently. Use the
standard occlusal technique to capture the image.
FS Ergo Sensor
