ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a radiographic sensor positioning system. In particular, the present invention is directed to a system for positioning a digital dental radiographic sensor in a patient's mouth and for positioning a radiographic device, e.g. a gamma ray source, to interact with the sensor. A preferred embodiment of the dental radiography positioning system comprises an aimer ring that slides onto an extension bar in one of several positions. The extension bar is preferably curved with a flared end and a tined end. The extension bar inserts into a bite block at one of three slots. The bite block has a bite surface above the three slots and a preferably tapered sensor holder slot with two stabilizer posts. A sensor holder is inserted into the sensor holder slot. For posterior images, the stabilizer posts can stabilize the sensor.
