This document describes different types of occlusal radiography projections and their main clinical indications. It discusses standard maxillary, upper oblique, vertex, lower 90 degrees, lower 45 degrees, and lower oblique occlusal projections. For each projection type, it provides 2-3 of the main clinical indications for its use, such as assessing unerupted teeth, detecting cysts or tumors, and evaluating fractures. It also notes some disadvantages of occlusal radiography.

Standard maxillary occlusal Standard maxillary occlusal Main clinical indications Periapical assessment of the upper anterior teeth in patients unable to tolerate periapical films
Detecting the presence of unerupted canines,
supernumeraries and odontomes As the midline view, when using the parallax method for determining the bucco/palatal position of unerupted canines Evaluation of the size and extent of lesions such as cysts or tumors in the anterior maxilla Assessment of fractures of the anterior teeth and alveolar bone, especially useful for children Upper oblique occlusal Upper oblique occlusal Main clinical indications
Periapical assessment of the upper
posterior teeth, especially in adults unable to tolerate posterior periapical films Evaluation of the size and extent of lesions in the posterior maxilla Assessment of the condition of the antral floor Determination of the position of roots displaced inadvertently into the antrum during attempted extraction of upper posterior teeth Assessment of fractures of the posterior teeth and associated alveolar bone including the tuberosity Clinical indications- assessment of the bucco/palatal position unerupted canines Disadvantages: - There is a lack of detail and contrast on the film because of the intensifying screens, the mass of tissues the X-ray beam has to penetrate and the consequent scatter Disadvantages The primary X-ray beam may be in direct line with the reproductive organs A relatively long exposure time is needed (about 1 second) despite the use of intensifying screens There is direct radiation to the pituitary gland and the lens of the eye If the X-ray beam is positioned too far anteriorly, superimposition of the shadow of the frontal bones may obscure the anterior part of the maxilla Lower 90 degrees occlusal Main clinical indications Detection of the presence and position of radiopaque calculi in the submandibular salivary ducts Assessment of the bucco/lingual position of unerupted mandibular teeth Evaluation of the bucco/lingual expansion of the body of the mandible by cysts, tumours or osteodystrophies Assessment of displacement fractures of the anterior body of the mandible in the horizontal plane Lower 45 degrees occlusal Main clinical indications Periapical assessment of the lower incisor teeth, especially useful in adults and children unable to tolerate periapical films Evaluation of the size and extent of lesions in the anterior part of the mandible Assessment of displacement fractures of the anterior mandible in the vertical plane Lower oblique occlusal Lower oblique occlusal Main indications Detection of radiopaque calculi in a submandibular salivary gland Assessment of the bucco/lingual position of impacted lower wisdom teeth Evaluation of the extent and expansion of lesions in the posterior mandible
