Common errors

Each figure is the reviewed reading of Lower incisor apex and a typical miss, on the same ceph, at the distance the mistake usually goes.

the pointthe miss2.2 mm

Placed short of the apex

The lower root is more often obscured than the upper one, and stopping early shortens the axis and flattens IMPA.

the pointthe miss1.8 mm

Placed on the cortical plate beside the root

A cortical plate runs parallel to the root and reads brighter than the root does. Here it is the lingual plate, a couple of millimeters behind the apex; on a proclined lower incisor it is the labial one in front.

Used in

9 measurements are built on it. Miss it, and every one of them moves.
