Abstract

ABSTRACT:Dental radiography is a useful – and in some cases essential – diagnostic tool, still under-utilised in small animal dentistry. When one considers that most of the structure of the tooth lies below the gingival margin, within the bone, many structures are not visible and much pathology can remain undetected unless radiography is performed. Intra-oral film placement, utilising different techniques and specific dental film, allow individual teeth and the surrounding bone to be evaluated to check for subtle changes, without superimposition of the opposing jaw or dental arcade. Indications for taking intraoral radiographs are numerous.
