REVIEW EXAM 4
CHAPTER 18
1. Inadequate (not steep enough) vertical angulation resulted in not recording the apical structures and a
stretching out of the image called elongation.
2. Not recording the entire occlusal structures most likely resulted from excessive (too steep) vertical
angulation.
3. Misuse of a cotton roll to stabilize the image receptor may result in root tips being cut off from the image.
True
4. Assembling an image receptor holder with external aiming device incorrectly may lead to conecut error. True
5. A distomesial projection of the x-ray beam results in more severe overlapping in the posterior region of the
radiograph. True
6. Failing to record the incisal or occlusal edges of the teeth on a periapical radiograph most likely results from
an error made in which of the following steps? Vertical angulation.
7. Dark films: overexposure – processing errors or too much mA, kVp, or time.
8. Light images: underexposure – insufficient mA, kVp, or exposure time; herringbone pattern also appears
light.
9. Entire tooth plus at least 2 mm beyond incisal/occlusal edges of crowns and beyond root apex recorded.
10. Bending a phosphor plate will result in a black crimp line. True
11. A white line will appear on a processed film at the point where a film packet was bent or subjected to
excessive pressure. True
CHAPTER 23
1. Restorative materials may appear radiopaque or radiolucent.
2. Metal crowns will most often appear to have smooth margins.
3. Margins of amalgam restorations are irregular.
4. Retention pin, post and core, implant: more radiopaque
5. Composite resin, glass ionomer, ceramic-porcelain: less radiopaque.
6. Most common anomalies or alterations to normal oral maxillofacial anatomy recorded by dental radiographic
images will most likely be the presence of materials used in dental restorative treatments. True
7. Post and core: prefabricated or custom-made post partially inserted and cemented into an endodontically
treated root canal
8. Post and core: prefabricated and custom-made posts appear radiopaque. Post is inserted and cemented into a
pulp chamber; presence of endodontic filler will be observed.
9. Which of the following would NOT be observed within the pulp? Retention pin
10. Amalgam and a full metal crown can be distinguished from each other radiographically by shape and
margins.
CHAPTER 26
1. Lesion located between teeth roots is termed interradicular.
2. Pericoronal refers to a location around a tooth crown.
3. A lesion with a poorly defined border will appear diffuse, making it difficult to determine the boundaries of
the lesion.
4. A well-defined border is often indicative of a slow-growing lesion. Slow growing tumors can cause external
resorption of teeth.
5. Unilocular lesion: Not compartmentalized (chia thành từng ngăn) but appears as a single radiolucent part
6. Multilocular: Lesion with more than one radiolucent compartment - appearing to be separated by radiopaque
walls or septa.
7. Dens in dente: An invagination of the enamel within the body of the lateral incisor.
8. Hypercementosis: Overgrowth of cementum on the roots of the molar.
9. Radiolucent compartments are called loculations.
10. Periapical pathology. (1) Caries. (2) Round radiolucent lesion may be periapical abscess, granuloma, or cyst.
11. A radiographic examination that detects anomalies and/or lesions different from which the examination was
prescribed is called an opportunistic screening.
