Using the Different Positioning
Systems
Apply the same rules for positioning the sensor in
the mouth that you use in classic radiology. You may
require time to adapt due to the rigidity of the sensor.
You can use different systems for positioning the
sensor in the mouth. None, however, can fulfill by
itself all possible needs. How you position the sensor is
dictated by the morphology of the patient, the habits of
the practitioner and what needs to be seen, rather than
the positioner itself. Use the tools according to the
restrictions dictated by the external parameters. You
can switch from the paralleling technique to the
bisecting technique, from holding the sensor with the
finger to using the holders.
