ABSTRACT:
An x-ray positioning device that allows a dental practitioner to adjust the x-ray beam horizontally and vertically relative to the center of the radiographic film with a great degree of precision. The device includes a frame, a bite block connected to the frame, an aiming ring connected to the frame, and an image receptor holder that is also connected to the frame. The aiming ring and image receptor holder are adjustable so as to allow the x-ray beam directed through the aiming ring to be adjustable horizontally and vertically relative to the center of an image receptor (e.g. a radiographic film packet) retained by the image receptor holder.
