RINN DEVICES
This color RINN device is used for anterior periapicals.
What is blue?
This technique uses a film parallel to the tooth and a long PID.
What is paralleling?
This happens when the film isn’t fully submerged in developer.
What is a partial image or developer cutoff?
This is the temperature of the developer in manual processing.
What is 68°F?
Film size for a child’s periapical image.
What is size 0?
This RINN device is used for bitewings.
What is red?
This technique involves directing the X-ray beam at a 90° angle to the imaginary bisector.
What is bisecting the angle?
Overdeveloped film appears this way.
What is too dark?
The first step in manual film processing.
What is development?
Film size typically used for adult bitewings.
What is size 2?
RINN devices help ensure this type of image accuracy.
What is alignment or positioning?
The paralleling technique reduces this type of distortion.
What is image distortion?
A film exposed to light before processing appears...
What is completely black?
This solution hardens the film emulsion.
What is the fixer?
This film size is used for occlusal images.
What is size 4?
What part of the RINN device stabilizes the film holder?
What is the ring?
One disadvantage of the bisecting technique.
What is image elongation or foreshortening?
White spots on the film mean this may have touched it.
What is fixer before development?
The darkroom must have this type of light.
What is a safelight?
This film size may be used for anterior teeth in adults.
What is size 1?
These two RINN colors are used in paralleling technique.
What are blue and yellow?
This technique is recommended by the ADA.
What is the paralleling technique?
What causes dark fingerprints on processed film?
What is handling film with wet or contaminated hands?
This type of processing is faster and uses an automatic machine.
What is automatic processing?
Larger film sizes provide a wider view but increase this risk.
What is patient discomfort or gagging?
