The development of new image receptor-holding instruments with appropriate horizontal X-ray beam angulation for periapical radiographs.

CONCLUSIONS:: The mean angles of the interproximal surfaces were determined from CT data. The image receptor holding-instruments were modified according to these angles to allow appropriate X-ray angulation, which facilitated improved observation of the proximal surfaces of teeth in the posterior region in this pilot in vitro study.
