Positioning the pediatric dental patient
Use a cotton roll to fill in missing primary teeth or partially erupted permanent
teeth. Adapt adult recommendation for direction of laser light beam guide for use
with primary teeth. Observe laser light beam guide on both the right and left sides.
1. Use laser light beam guide to locate mid sagittal plane. Direct patient focus to
mirror reflection. Affix decal to mirror to aid patient in maintaining the correct
position throughout exposure.
2. Move chinrest into a position that is slightly higher than the patient’s chin
height before requesting that the patient place chin onto the rest. Direct the
patient to assume a position that resembles the erect stance of a soldier.
3. Direct the patient to stick out the chest while dropping the chin down. While
holding the unit handles for stability, direct the patient to take a half step in
toward the vertical column of the X-Ray device into a position that feels as if
he/she is slightly leaning backward.
4. Direct the patient to the lips closed around the bite block during the exposure.
5. Direct the patient to swallow and note the flat position of the tongue. Request
that the patient suck in the cheeks, pushing the tongue into the correct flat
position against the palate and maintain this position throughout the exposure.
