Exposure with Chin Rest and Bar
For patients without anterior teeth
•
Remove bite block with holding rod and insert bar as
shown (bow facing column).
•
Ensure that the upper and lower jaws are lined
up with each other.
This is facilitated by a cotton roll.
•
Proceed as in the case of exposures with chin rest
and bite block.
Deviation:
The patient places his chin on the chin rest.
•
To position the head optimally for tomographic expo-
sures, the bar should be just under the patient's
nose.
•
If there are still anterior teeth in the lower jaw, place
the bar between chin and lower lip.
•
Have patient press tongue against roof of palate.
