5.3.3.1 Panoramic exposure
1. Insert the sinus rest, chin rest and bite rod with the bite
guide. Place the hygienic barriers.
NOTICE! Use a new hygienic barrier for every patient.
2. Adjust the unit height using the carriage Up/Down keys
on the column control panel to slightly higher than the pa-
tient's chin.
3. Guide the patient to the unit and instruct to stand as
straight and tall as possible. Exposure can also be taken
in a sitting position, including from a wheelchair. Ask the
patient to grip the handgrips and bite on the bite guide,
so that the upper and lower anterior teeth are in the
grooves of the bite guide. Use the edentulous bite posi-
tioner or the chin support for an edentulous patient.
4. Adjust the unit height to get the Frankfort plane laser
passing over the orbitale and porion.
