Kiley, I am so glad. If you are still in the dental school or you have graduated, continue with other short videos. I think those will help you with your interpretation skills. Diagnosis is critical for patient management, and ultimately your success in your clinical practice. Best wishes.
Hello Julie! Great question! The nasal cavity starts from the incisor area (nares area) and continues to the nasopharynx. Sometimes, it is also possible to see the floor of the orbit on a periapical radiograph, only when the positive vertical angle of the x-ray tube is too much (the tube is too high pointing downwards). In such an error, you will not record the crown of the teeth. Also, the floor of the orbit is a little bit thicker, as Nature wants to protect our eyes. If you happen to see the orbit, you will also see the floor of the nasal fossa. Finally, the floor of the orbit is not quite horizontal. I hope this explains. Best wishes!
@@mansurahmad1952 Thank you so much. I understand now. I was thinking of it in 2-D instead of 3-D. Thanks for explaining the differences between the floor of the nasal cavity and the the floor of the orbit. I will now continue with the rest of your videos!
