BISECTING ANGLE
TECHNIQUE
/SHORT CONE TECHNIQUE
Intraoral Radiographic Techniques:
 Techniques used in routine dental practice.
 Technique provides high resolution imaging of teeth and potential
associated dental and jawbone diseases.
 provide detail & allow dentist to find cavities, check health of tooth root
and bone surrounding tooth, check status of developing teeth, and
monitor general health of your teeth and jawbone.
 1. Periapical projections
 shows all teeth and surrounding bone
 Divided into two types
1. Paralleling Technique
2. Bisecting Technique
2. Bitewing projections
 shows crowns of maxillary and mandibular teeth and adjacent alveolar
crest.
3. Occlusal projections
 shows an area of teeth and bone larger than periapical
BISECTING ANGLE TECHNIQUE
 Technique where film is kept as near to
teeth and X-ray beam
 Principle
1. Works on Cieszyski’s rule/rule of isometry
(two triangles are equal if they have two
equal angles and share common side).
2. Two equal triangles are formed then side
of film and tooth will also be equal and in
that condition tooth size in the film will be
same as that of real tooth without any
magnification.
1. Angle CAB=CAD
2. ACB=ACD=900
3. Side AC is common
4. ️

️️ABC=ADC
5. Then AB=AD
6. the tooth image formed in
the film will be equal to the
real-tooth
3. These two triangles are formed equal only when:
1. The X-ray beam is perpendicular to the imaginary bisector film
2. Imaginary line should be correctly imagined
3. Proper patient positioning
4. Correct vertical angulation
 AB = Formed by the fiml
 AD = Formed by long axis of tooth
 AC = Formed by imaginary
bisecting line
Steps in Taking Periapical Radiography:
1.Proper positioning of patient:
1. Brief Radiographic procedure to patient.
2. Position the patient upright in chair.
3. level of the chair must be adjusted
4. Adjust the headrest to support patients head
5. Remove all objects from patient's mouth that
may interfere with film exposure.
2. Proper evaluation of target area for exposure:
6. Evaluation of complete oral cavity is mast.
7. Target area for exposure should be properly
evaluate for correct placement of film
3.Placement of the film:
1. white side of the film always faces the tooth
2. Anterior projections, film is placed vertically
3. Posterior projections, film is placed horizontally
4. Identification dot should be on occlusal surface always
5. 1.5-2 mm of the gap should be left on incisal or occlusal surface of film.
6. .Film holder kept tight so there will not be movement of film.
4. check proper head orientation.
1. Arch is parallel to the floor and midsagittal plane is
perpendicular to the floor.
2. maxillary projection -Ala tragus line should be
parallel to floor so patient had to turn head little
parallerd downward
3. mandibular projection Line above 3 cm above lower
border of mandible parallel to the floor so patient had
to turn head little upward.
4. Position tube head
5.Position the tube head
different vertical angulation
given for dilferent teeth
Finger holding method:
1. finger always placed behind the film and teeth.
2. thumb position maxillary anterior & posterior- index finger
3. index finger to stabilize mandibular films.
4. patient's left hand is used for right side of the mouth
5. right hand is used for exposures on left side of the mouth,
Disadvantages
6. Patient's hand in path of primary beam – unnecessary exposure
7. Patient use excessive force to stabilize film - bending of film –
image distortion.
8. slip from position -inadequate exposure of prescribed area.
Films
Film Selection for Adults: #2 size film is used long axis of the film is
vertical- anterior horizontal – posterior
Film Selection for Children: small mouths #0 size film used ,.child's
mouth small for larger size films.
PID Angulation:
 used to describe alignment of central ray of X-ray beam in horizontal and vertical planes
Vertical angulation:
1. given by tilting tube head indicating either moving up and down.
2. determined by the imaginary bisecting between tooths and film
3. For maxilla – directed downloads - positive angulation.
4. For mandible - directed upward – negative angulation.
Horizontal angulation:
5. Horizontal angulation must be 00
not any tube head tilting on either right or left side
6. Tube head has to move based on the arch curvature so that X-rays should pass throngh the
contact area in 900
7. Any tilting right or left will cause overlaping between teeth
Teeth Maxillary angulation Mandibular angulation
Incisor +40 -15
Canine +45 -20
Premolars +30 -10
Molars +20 -05
Guiding lines for bisecting angle technique
 line of concentration for maxillary teeth is indicated along a line approximately 1/4th inch above
the ala tragusline.
 line of concentration for mandibular teeth is indicated along a line approximately 1/4th inch
above the lower border of the mandible.
Chair position: The maxillary & Mandibular teeth occlusal plane is kept parallel to the floor and
sagittal plane perpendicular to the floor.

Bisecting Angle Technique Radiology  PPT
Advantages:
1. simple and quick procedure.
2. Comfortable for patient.
3. film adapted to shape of most dental arches
4. More teeth may be demonstrated on one film without overlap
5. easily adaptable for endodontic treatment
6. Less exposure time required
Disadvantages:
7. Chances of film fault are more like magnification distortion, cone cut, overlapping,
8. crowns of teeth are often distorted thus preventing detection of a proximal caries.
9. periodontal bone levels are poorly shown
10. horizontal & vertical angles have to be assessed for every patient & considering skill required
11. shadow of zygomatic bone is generally super imposed over roots of maxillary molar
12. Incorrect angulations result in overlapping of crowns and roots
Difference Between Paralleling and Bisecting Angle
Technique: Paralleling technique Bisecting angle technique
Also called Long cone technique Short cone technique
First described by Donald MC Cormack in 1937 Weston Price in 1904
Mechanism film is parallel to long axis of teeth
central ray of X-ray beam is
directed at right angle to teeth
Cieszyski's rule of isometry
Holder used XCP - extended cone paralleling
instrument
Snap a ray holder
Placement As far as possible to teeth As near as possible to teeth
Magnification Less More
Time consuming More Less
Patient confert Less More
