Preparing and Positioning the Adult and Pediatric Patient
To prepare and position the patient, follow these steps:
1. Ask the patient to remove all metal objects.
2. Ask the patient to wear a lead apron. Ensure that the apron lays flat across the patient’s shoulders.
3. Turn the adjustment knob to open the temple supports laterally, as shown.
If you are using the 3rd Molar offset 3D bite block (optional):
• Remove the standard temple support from the right or left head clamp, depending on
the side of the mouth targeted for focused acquisition (right molar (MR) or left molar (ML))
• Replace it with the offset temple support cone designed for use with the 3rd Molar
offset 3D bite block as shown below:
Note: You can adjust the temple supports manually to the back or front for
a better head fit.
