While the use of a size 2 image receptor for anterior periapical radiographs is acceptable, the narrower size 1 image receptor may fit this area better

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

TRUE
Explanation: When using a size 2 image receptor in the anterior region, there is a tendency to bend film or phosphor plate corners to make it fit more comfortably. A solid-state digital sensor may impinge on sensitive tissues. Bending the image receptor distorts the image or damages the receptor. A smaller image receptor is often the better alternative.
