cotton roll must be placed in the area of the missing tooth: to support the bite wing

should be: raised in the mouth

relatively important to be left ON? Safelight
24. A small radiolucent half moon shaped image on a dental film is caused by: long nails
25. The intensifying screen is used because of: less radiation to the patient
26. Copper is used in the anode of the x-ray head or tube: to dissipate any heat created

error in horizontal angulation
28. The part of the x-ray tube that is heated when the electric current is allowed to flow
through the low voltage circuit is the: cathode filament

30. The film that requires a cassette is: screen film
31. The wavelength of the x-ray is determined by: the kVp

posterior tooth)
33. Soft radiation has the following characteristics: long wavelength and poor
penetration
34. Gloves should be worn during processing procedures to: prevent cross-
contamination
35. The collimator in the x-ray machine limits the field of the beam to approximately: 2
¾” (7 cm)
36. A radiograph of the patient’s right or left side is determined by: the identification dot
37. The x-radiation produced from the focal spot is absorbed by: oil
38. The most important use of radiography in dentistry is for: patient education
39. Films to be mounted should be handled with: no glove hands
40. The diameter of the useful beam at the end of the cone may not exceed: 2 ¾ in. (7
cm)
41. The standard location of the identification dot on a correctly-placed film is: toward
the incisal or occlusal
42. When developing your films, you notice an increase in the temperature of the
solutions. This should affect your technique by: decrease the developing time
43. The following is the radiographer’s objective except:
Select one:
a. increasing the demand for x-ray services
b. taking only such radiographs as are needed for diagnosis of the patient’s
needs

radiographs
47. The adult FMS when standard sized film packets are used is: 16 – 20

Select one:
a. periapical
b. panoramic
c. interproximal
d. occlusal
