Abstract

See full text

A bite piece is provided for use with a dental x-ray system. A substantially straight first portion extends to a curved second portion. An end of the second portion opposite the first portion has a region of reduced cross section adjacent the end of the second portion. The region is received between a patient's opposed upper and lower anterior teeth to secure the patient's head position during operation of the dental x-ray system. The region and the second portion substantially lack transitional edges, improving each of the quality of a radiograph produced during operation of the dental x-ray system, a patient's level of comfort and stability of the patient's head position.
