Rp. Oconnor et al., THE LATERAL RADIOGRAPH - AN AID TO LABIOLINGUAL POSITION DURING TREATMENT OF CALCIFIED ANTERIOR TEETH, Journal of endodontics, 20(4), 1994, pp. 183-184
A technique is described to obtain a lateral view of an anterior tooth
using a regular periapical film. This procedure helps determine the r
elative labiolingual position of instruments during the nonsurgical tr
eatment of calcified canals. No additional armamentarium is required o
ther than what is used in the daily practice of endodontics. This tech
nique has other applications as well.
