Ithin Iograph Ith: - The Object Lies Lingual To The First Molar

The buccal object rule uses two x-rays taken from slightly different angles to determine the spatial position of an object in the jaws by comparing its position relative to a reference point like a tooth root. If the object appears to move in the same direction as the shifted x-ray tube, it is lingual to the reference point; if it moves opposite to the tube, it is buccal to the reference point.

The object lies lingual to the first molar

The buccal object rule (also called the tube shift technique) is used to determine an
object's spacial position within the jaws. This technique utilizes two radiographs of an
object exposed with slightly different tube angulations. It then compares the object's
position on the radiograph with respect to a reference point (e.g., the root of a tooth).
If the tube is shifted and directed from a more mesial direction, and the object in question appears to have moved mesially with respect to the reference point, then the
object lies lingual to that reference point. Conversely, if the tube is shifted mesially and
the object in question moves distally , it lies on the buccal aspect of the reference
object.
Remember the acronym SLOB:

~ame-bingual, Qpposite-~uccal.

***If the object in question appears to move in the same direction as the x-ray tube, it
is on the lingual aspect. If it appears to move in the opposite direction as the x-ray
tube, it is on the buccal aspect.
