5.3. PREPARATION OF THE X-RAY EXAMINATION

5.3.1. EDENTOLOUS PATIENTS DEVICES

In case of edentulous patients, for the PAN, DENT, SIN or CBCT examinations requiring the use of the bite piece,
apply the single-use soft insert supplied, as follows:
1 - remove the soft bite from the mould (Fig. 1)
2 - apply the single-use protection on the bite piece (Fig. 2)
3 - insert the soft bite in the bite piece as shown in the figure (Fig. 3)
4 - push the bite until the material block is ejected (Fig. 4)
Always apply the single-use protection on the bite piece before inserting the soft bite.
Then proceed to the standard positioning for the examination, asking the patient to close the mucous membranes at
the centre of the soft insert.

5.4. PATIENT POSITIONING

Having the patient correctly positioned for a panoramic X-ray is extremely important for the quality of the image. The
size and shape of the most sharply defined area on the image depends on the correct positioning of the patient.
Set the X-ray device to Patient Access status before letting the patient in and starting any cranium positioning operation.
If the X-ray device is not in Patient Access status, press the CONFIRM button
complete its movements and for the laser beams to turn on.
When pressing the CONFIRM button, wait a few seconds for the X-ray device to complete its movements; in this phase
you will not be able to use the control console, the only exception being the CONFIRM button to interrupt the process.
During patient access and, in any case, before starting the examination, ensure that the X-ray device is not
hit unintentionally: if this is the case, press the emergency button and position the X-ray device once again
with the
