Imaging plate holders
It is recommended that imaging plate holders be used
to ensure accurate IP positing and consistently good
images quality.
Using imaging plate holders improves image quality
because:
-
the IP is positioned correctly in relation to the tooth
-
there is no positioning guesswork
-
the IP is not bent and thus distortion is eliminated
-
the IP cannot move in relation to the X-ray unit
-
images are standardized and reproduceable
-
there is no overlapping nor cone cut off
-
IP wear and tear is minimized
-
image quality can be maintained irrespecective of
who takes the image
-
time is saved and profitability increased
Problems caused by manually positioning the IP
include:
-
incorrect vertical alignment
-
distortion
-
cone cut off
-
poor projection standardization
-
inferior image quality
For more information on imaging plate holders and
systems contact you dealer.
