  • Topographical maxillary occlusal projection/upper anterior occlusal
  • Topographical maxillary occlusal projection/upper anterior occlusal shows the anterior part of the maxilla and the upper anterior teeth
  • The topographical maxillary occlusal projection/upper anterior occlusal is used for periapical assessment of the upper anterior teeth, check for unerupted/supernumerary teeth, cysts, tumors or fractures in the anterior maxilla
  • Anterior mandibular occlusal projection/lower 45 degree occlusal
  • The anterior mandibular occlusal projection/lower 45 degree occlusal shows the lower anterior teeth and anterior part of the mandible
  • Anterior mandibular occlusal projection/lower 45 degrees occlusal is used for periapical assessment of the lower anterior teeth and checking for lesions like cysts or tumors that may affect the anterior mandible

  • Anterior mandibular occlusal projection/lower 45 degree occlusal
  • Topographical mandibular occlusal projection/lower 90 degrees occlusal
  • Topographical mandibular occlusal projection/lower 90 degrees occlusal is used for assessing the submandibular salivary duct, buccolingual position of unerupted teeth, buccolingual expansion of the body of the mandible by cyst, tumor, or lesions, and fracture of the anterior both of the mandible
  • Lateral mandibular occlusal projection
  • Lateral mandibular occlusal projection
  • Lateral mandibular occlusal projections are used to show unilateral lesions, such as cysts, tumors, and fractures
  • Lower oblique occlusal
