With the X-rays directed as lines A and B indicate,the canal filling, as it appears on the radiograph, will not reach the endof the root; with the rays directed as indicated by the unmarked lines, the 37^ APPENDIX resulting radiograph will show the canal filling reaching to the end ofthe root. The lines marked A and B then may be considered to represent anincorrect angle for the X-rays, while the unmarked lines represent thecorrect angle. However, when the apical foramen happens not to be inthe bucco-lingual center of the root, but stands somewhat to the buccal,what would ordinarily be the correct angle for the rays will cast the shad-ow of the canal filling short of the extreme apical end.
