- Figure 1:
Examples of Radiographic Devices and Photostimulable Phosphor Receptors
This figure displays an example of each intra-oral radiographic device used in the study. Positioned on the left is the XCP-ORA™ positioning system (standard) with Rinn XCP® anterior and posterior biteblocks. On the right is the XCP Rinn Flip-Ray™ PA positioning system. Centered are size 1 and 2 Photostimulable phosphor (photostimulable phosphor) receptors with barrier covers.

Mean Performance Scores by Device
The mean full mouth series performance scores per device were 88.4 (standard device) and 88.1 (test device) and were not statistically different (p=0.88).
- Figure 3:
Frequency of Technique Errors by Device
Cone centering was the most common error observed in both the standard (36%) and test (43%) devices. Receptor placement errors occurred in projections using the standard (12%) and test (9%) devices. Vertical and horizontal errors were <2% for both devices.
