o
Chin Rest
Bite Tip
Holder
Horizontal Laser
Occlusal Plane
1. Place chair in the upper slots so that chair back does not impede
patient’s ability to sit with an erect posture.
2. If head support is installed, loosen locking knob and remove head
support. Slide PAN head holder into place and tighten locking knob.
3. Insert the narrow edges of bite tip down into bite tip holder uprights.
Turn the bite tip a ¼ turn to lock into place.
4. Insert the chin rest and bite tip holder into the positioning block.
5. Seat the patient in the chair with an erect posture. The neck must be
stretched up and as straight as possible to avoid the spine getting in
the view. Close the gate.
6. Adjust chair height so that the
patient’s chin is on the chin rest,
but erect posture is maintained.
7. Tilt the patient’s head downward
so that the occlusal plane forms
roughly a 5
o
to 10
o
angle to the
horizontal laser line.
8. Use the sagittal laser (front center
laser) to ensure that the patient is
centered and facing straight
forward.
9. Instruct patient to bite in the groove of the bite tip and to close lips around the bite tip as if using a straw.
Adjust height of bite tip holder as needed.
10. Close head holder arms so temple pads fit to patient’s temples. If necessary, loosen head support knob
and adjust head holder forward or backward as needed to fit head holder to patient. Tighten knob.
11. Instruct patient to swallow and hold, put the tongue to the roof of the mouth and hold for the duration of
the exposure.
