Is placing the film on the tongue a new technique? We didn't learn this in school. We're taught to put the film as close to the teeth as possible.

Ebony Collins I have amelogonesis imperfecta please say what can I do

[@StopSelfDoubting]

cuty susmita I've never heard of that condition before

[@unmccollegeofdentistry5496]

You are absolutely correct. We recommend students placing the film between the tongue and the teeth. Sorry for the confusion.

we use cotton rolls with bite block all the time but never secure it with rubber band? I feel this whole secure the cotton with rubber band is wrong! rubber bands are non sterilized?

[@NeelamDaniyelyan]

is the rubber band on the bite block sterilized ? since it goes into patients mouth? I don't think so...please clarify?

[@dapths3281]

No, the rubber band would be disposed of after use lol
