The laterolateral view often yields the most valuable information regarding dental disease.1, 7 The incisor teeth, cheek teeth, and supporting structures are easily evaluated
for malocclusions.1, 7 The appearance of the bone surrounding the teeth may also be assessed.1, 6 The dorsoventral view is particularly helpful
for evaluating the
palatal and buccal margins of the cheek teeth and the zygomatic bone.1, 7 Oblique projections of the skull are useful
for separating individual cheek teeth of the mandible and maxilla, which are directly superimposed in laterolateral views.1 In 2009, Boehmer and Crossley introduced the use of anatomic reference lines when evaluating dental radiographs (BOX 2).1, 7
