Radiographs are essential to diagnose pathology that is not visible from the crown, confirm pathology, and demonstrate pathology for the pet owner. Dental radiography can improve the standard of care and increase clinic revenue. This article will help veterinary nurses produce diagnostic dental radiographs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Take-Home Points <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">The bisecting angle technique is used to radiograph all teeth except the posterior mandibular molars in dogs.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Proper patient positioning is key to obtaining diagnostic radiographs.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">The tooth roots should be the same length in the radiograph as they are in the mouth.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Always radiograph missing teeth as well as before and after any extractions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Taking radiographs of every patient, every time, is good medical practice. It will also help improve proficiency in dental radiography.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dental radiographs are an essential part of the oral examination. Approximately two-thirds of the tooth lies below the gumline; therefore, dental radiography helps reveal pathology that is not immediately visible during an oral examination.<sup>1-4<\/sup> Radiographs also help confirm suspect pathology and demonstrate pathology to the client. Obtaining a complete series of dental radiographs in each patient can also increase the standard of care in a clinic (and the clinic\u2019s revenue) by finding pathology that otherwise would have gone unnoticed, thus improving patients\u2019 oral health. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As patient advocates, veterinary nurses have a duty to thoroughly examine normal oral pathology and further investigate abnormal oral pathology. Therefore, while dental radiography can be among the more frustrating skills for a veterinary nurse to master, it is also one of the most rewarding diagnostic tools in veterinary dentistry. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Radiography Techniques<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Two intraoral radiography techniques are commonly used in veterinary dentistry: bisecting angle and parallel. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The bisecting angle technique<\/b> is used for the anterior mandibular teeth and all of the maxillary teeth, where the hard palate on the maxilla and the symphysis of the anterior mandible make it impossible to use the parallel technique.

To be diagnostic, a dental radiograph must include 2 to 3 mm of bone around the apex of the root and the level of the alveolar bone. The crown is not necessary. The tooth roots should be the same length as they are in the mouth.<\/li>\n<li>To correct a nondiagnostic radiograph, follow these steps:<br \/>\n1. Ensure the arcade is parallel to the table and the head is not tilted.<br \/>\n2. Check the placement of the sensor.<br \/>\n3. Adjust the cone.<\/li>\n<li>When adjusting the cone to avoid distortion, think about how the sun affects shadows at different times of day. When the sun is low in the sky (morning or evening), shadows are elongated, but when the sun is high in the sky (noon), shadows are foreshortened. Therefore, if the tooth roots are too long, increase the angle of the cone; if they are too short, decrease the angle.<\/li>\n<li>Different roots of the same tooth can be taken in separate views. The entire tooth does not need to be on 1 view.<\/li>\n<li>For a quick survey of the oral cavity, and to save time, aim to radiograph all the teeth in as few views as possible. Additional views can be taken as needed for more detail.<\/li>\n<li>For maxillary views, position the tube head cone high and through the eye.<\/li>\n<li>For posterior mandibular views, place the sensor parallel to the jaw; for anterior mandibular teeth, place it parallel to the table.<\/li>\n<li>When possible, use the tongue to help position the sensor.<\/li>\n<li>X-rays of incisors should be read as a ventral dorsal film. The animal\u2019s right side is on the image\u2019s left side.<\/li>\n<li>Practice makes perfect. Invest in a dog and cat skull or cadaver specimens to practice taking dental radiographs. <\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Patient Positioning<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Proper patient and sensor placement are essential to obtain diagnostic images and make performing dental radiographs easier. The patient should be placed in sternal recumbency with the muzzle parallel to the table for the maxillary views (<span class=\"s2\"><b>FIGURE<\/b><\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b>\u00a02<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s1\">).<sup>1<\/sup> It can be helpful to place a square plastic box under the jaw to help hold the animal in the proper position. This device helps keep the maxilla parallel to the table and prevents the mouth from tilting to the side. The size of the box should be appropriate to the size of the patient (i.e., large for large dogs; smaller for small dogs and cats).<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-image-carousel  su-image-carousel-has-spacing su-image-carousel-crop su-image-carousel-crop-4-3 su-image-carousel-has-lightbox su-image-carousel-has-outline su-image-carousel-adaptive su-image-carousel-slides-style-default su-image-carousel-controls-style-dark su-image-carousel-align-center\" style=\"max-width:70%\" data-flickity-options='{\"groupCells\":true,\"cellSelector\":\".su-image-carousel-item\",\"adaptiveHeight\":false,\"cellAlign\":\"left\",\"prevNextButtons\":true,\"pageDots\":false,\"autoPlay\":5000,\"imagesLoaded\":true,\"contain\":true,\"selectedAttraction\":0.025,\"friction\":0.28}' id=\"su_image_carousel_69e8ce124c144\"><div class=\"su-image-carousel-item\"><div class=\"su-image-carousel-item-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/Berg_DentalRadiology_TVNSpring25_Fig2A.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-caption=\"Figure 2A.
