4-36. MANDIBULAR ANTERIOR OCCLUSAL
Tilt the head backward so that the occlusal plane of the mandibular teeth is at a
+55 degree angle to the horizontal and median plane. Position the film in the mouth
with its short axis in line with the median plane. Adjust the tube to direct the central rays
through the point of the chin at a +55 degree angle to the plane of the packet (see figure
4-34).
