Why is it important to not position the embossed dot on the film near the apices of the teeth?
What will be an ideal response?
When placing the film packet for periapical exposures, it is important to make note of where the identification dot is located. There is a tendency for the embossed identification dot to distort images, so during film packet placement, it is important to position the identification dot away from the area of interest. In the case of periapical radiographs, the identification dot should be positioned toward the incisal or occlusal edges, where it is least likely to interfere with diagnostic information.
