A decrease in vertical angulation of no more than 20 degrees is acceptable to record more in the apical region on periapical radiographs for children
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
False. Once the image receptor is positioned, the vertical angulation may still need to be increased slightly (no more than 10 degrees) over the setting used for adult patients. Due to a shallow palatal vault, the image receptor will most likely lay flatter in position. Slightly increasing the vertical angulation over perpendicular will help to image the root apices and the unerupted developing permanent teeth.
