Modified Occlusal Technique
Place the sensor parallel to the occlusal plane and add a cotton roll for pro-
tection, comfort, and support. Ask the child to close gently. Use the stan-
dard bisection angle technique to capture the image.
Two-exposure Images
In some cases, you may need to place the sensor width wise, from anterior
to posterior, on half of the arch, and then repeat for the other half.
In both cases, the sensor is placed parallel to the occlusal plane and a cot-
ton roll is added for protection, comfort, and support. Ask the child to close
gently. Use the standard occlusal technique to capture the image.
