  • Intraoral radiograph alignment device
    Patent number: 5629972
    Abstract: The invention is an apparatus for use in serial radiography which provides replicable projection geometry between an energy source, an intraoral target area, and an image receptor. The device uses a biting surface bearing the impressions of a patient's tooth surfaces and an alignment arm which terminates in an alignment ring. The alignment ring is received by a sensor ring affixed to an x-ray source to provide proper projection geometry. Sensors in communication with electronic means may be disposed about the sensor ring to indicate proper alignment. The biting surface may comprise an acrylic stent or a platform supporting a quantity of an impressionable material.
