Abstract
The purpose of the project described here was to develop a teaching aid for oral roentgenology.
Windows were prepared in the maxilla and mandible of a skull so that a light source,
representing the focal spot of an x-ray machine, passing through the window would
produce an image on a film packet which is positioned by means of standard film-holding
devices. This teaching aid offers the following advantages:
- 1.1. It serves as an intermediate step between classroom and clinic, reducing time consumption and unnecessary radiation during the trial-and-error period.
- 2.2. A concept of target-film-object relationship can be easily visualized.
- 3.3. This inexpensive laboratory teaching aid can be used in other than roentgenology courses.
