![]() | This article does not cite any sources. (May 2013) |
Rinn's film holders, also called XCP (X-tension C-one P-arallelying), are devices used for endoral radiographs applying the parallel ray technique. They ensure that film will be perpendicular to X-rays. Their colors can be:
- Yellow for lateral teeth (molars and premolars)
- Blue for anterior teeth (incisors and canines)
- Red for bite-wing radiographs
- Green for "under dam" radiographs, i.e. radiographs shot when the dental dam is still on.
