When placing the dental film packet the white side of the film?The tube side is solid white and has the raised bump on one corner. When placed in the mouth, the white side (tube side) of the film must face the teeth and tubehead, and the raised dot must be toward the incisal/occlusal surface.
Which side of the film faces towards the tube?The manufacturer orients the film in the packet so that the convex side of the dot is toward the front of the packet and faces the x-ray tube. The side of the film with the depression is thus oriented toward the patient's tongue.
Which side of the film must be turned toward the Tubehead?When placing the film in the mouth how should it be placed? The white side (tube side) of the film faces toward the teeth and tubehead, and the raised dot points toward the incisal/occlusal surface.
How is dental film packaged?In dentistry, the terms 'film packet' and 'film' are often used interchangeably. Intraoral film packets are typically available in quantities of 25, 100 or 150 films per container. Film packets are packaged in convenient plastic trays or cardboard boxes that can be recycled.
