This study session greatly helpedme better understand the paralleling technique and the bisecting technique used in dental radiology.Because they are both used to expose PA radiographs, I feel I was criss-crossing information, but now I have it straight.Now that I have a better understanding of the Paralleling techniques vs the bisecting technique, I feel more confident in choosing between the two. The bisecting technique is only used when the paralleling technique isn’tpossiblein order to obtaina periapical radiograph. I also feel that I have reintroduced the important structures to be seen on a diagnostically useful PA image. Lastly, I learned that to efficiently expose radiographs a proper sequence is needed to minimize the time the client is the chair. Utilizing exposure sequences for anterior and posterior teeth in the bisecting and paralleling techniques is very important. I look forward to putting the sequencing into practice to improve my time management skills
