Occlusal Radiograph Confusion

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)

When we take a mandibular (or maxillary for that matter) true occlusal view, such as to find a sialolithiasis, when we look at the radiograph, is it as if we are looking "up" at the floor of the mouth so this sialolith would be on the patients left. Or are we looking down so this sialolith is on the patients right floor of mouth? I have looked up many pictures and it seems there is no consensus. Of course x-rays can be flipped around as well.
