The occlusal radiograph revisited.
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate occlusal radiography as an important projection for diagnostic purposes in general dental practice. There are many instances where bitewing and periapical radiographs are insufficient to demonstrate pathoses adequately. A descriptive and photographic review of the different occlusal projections and a series of illustrative cases demonstrating their diagnostic relevance is provided.
