It is possible to place the image receptor close to the mandibular molars and still achieve a parallel relationship between the image receptor and the long axes of the teeth

Indicate whether the statement is true or false


TRUE
Explanation: When the image receptor is placed close to the teeth in both the anterior and the posterior regions of the maxilla and in the anterior region of the mandible, the bisecting technique must be used to compensate for the lack of parallelism between the image receptor and the long axes of the teeth. However, the mandibular posterior region, which includes the molars and premolars, is the exception to this generalization.
