A cross-sectional occlusal radiograph will significantly distort the image of the teeth, making them appear circular or elliptical
Indicate whether the statement is true or false
TRUE
Explanation: The circular or elliptical appearance of the teeth results from the relationship of the central ray of the x-ray beam with the image receptor. As its name implies, the cross-sectional technique produces a circular or elliptical appearance of the teeth on the radiograph and an increased coverage of the sublingual area (under the tongue).
