Should exposure settings for edentulous areas be the same as for areas with teeth present?
What will be an ideal response?
No. Exposure settings for edentulous areas should be approximately 25 percent less than the exposure required for the dentulous ridge. Because the edentulous ridge is less dense, the amount of radiation needed to produce an acceptable image is less.
