Periapical radiography Radiographic technique of oral structure taken by placing film in oral cavity while X ray source is outside oral cavity. Paralleling technique Bisecting angle technique
Limitation Trismus Gagging Large cyst & tumours Two dimensional image
Image receptor Film Charge coupled device (CCD) Complementary metal oxide semiconductors(CMOS) Sensors Storage phosphorous plates

Occlusal radiography/sandwich radiography Intra oral technique in which large occlusal areas of maxilla & mandible is recorded.
Indication Trismus Precise location of roots, supernumerary, unerupted , & impacted teeth. Calculi in salivary gland duct Maxillary sinus Trauma Size & extend of cyst & tumours Position of unerupted canine
Maxillary anterior occlusal
Anterior Mandibular occlusal
Maxillary cross section
