Intraoral radiographic techniques for the anaesthetized patient.
The difficulties encountered in taking radiographs of the anaesthetized patient are easily overcome. Numerous simple techniques provide adequate film stabilization for all intraoral radiographs. Minor modifications during the induction phase of anaesthesia eliminate the superposition of nasopharyngeal tubing and adaptors on maxillary anterior radiographs. The main significance of the methods described is the total elimination of ionizing radiation to all members of the dental/anaesthesia team.
