occlusal radiograph
<dentistry> The only X-ray that is taken without an X-ray holder. The X-ray film for this procedure is shaped like a large biscuit and the patient is asked to bite on the X-ray film and the top of the X-ray machine is positioned over your nose for a maxillary occlusal X-ray or under your chin for a mandibular occlusal film. The X-ray displays the entire arch.
