Mesial tube shift technique: Obtaining this image is initiated by positioning the P iD 45 degrees in the vertical plane (as in figure 10); then rotating the tube head approximately 30 degrees mesially (pointing toward the back of the head) (a). The resulting image (B) splits the roots of the maxillary fourth premolar; however, the distal root is obscured by the maxillary frst molar (red arrow). in this view, the mesiobuccal root (yellow arrow) is distal to the palatal root (blue arrow). B A Figure 16. Distal tube shift technique: Obtaining this image is initiated by positioning the PiD 45 degrees in the vertical plane (as in figure 10); then rotating the tube head approximately 30 degrees distally (toward the nose) (a). The resulting image (B) splits the roots of the maxillary fourth premolar and provides an excellent view of the distal root (red arrow); for this reason, i recommend this projection. in this view, the mesiobuccal root (yellow arrow) is mesial to the palatal root (blue arrow).
