'''Left and right [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Maxilla|maxillary]] [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolar]] and [[Dental Formula - Dog#Molars|molar]] views''' - The first to third [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolars]] are often included on one image, and a separate radiograph is made of the fourth [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolar]]. On small dogs, it may be possible to include all the [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolars]] on a single radiograph. On cats the [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolars]] and [[Dental Formula - Dog#Molars|molar]] can be included in one image. The tube is positioned to bisect the angle when viewed from the front and perpendicular to the film and alveolar ridge when viewed from the top or side. Tube-shift can be performed to separate superimposed structures on the image. The alveolar arch curves medially behind the [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolars]] in most dogs. The tube is positioned to bisect the angle when viewed from rostrolateral (from the mesial contact surface of the tooth), and perpendicular to the film, the [[Dental Terminology|buccal]] surface of the [[Dental Formula - Dog#Molars|molars]] and alveolar ridge when viewed from the top. | '''Left and right [[Skull and Facial Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Maxilla|maxillary]] [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolar]] and [[Dental Formula - Dog#Molars|molar]] views''' - The first to third [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolars]] are often included on one image, and a separate radiograph is made of the fourth [[Dental Formula - Dog#Premolars|premolar]].
