Increased exposure time

'''The exposure time is actually decreased


The bisecting angle technique is based on the geometric principal known as the rule
of isometry. The rule states that two triangles are equal if they have two equal angles
and share a common side. The following best describes the bisecting technique:
The dental x-ray film is placed along the lingual surface of the tooth.
At the point where the film contacts the tooth, an angle is formed by the plane of the
film and the long axis of the tooth.
The person taking the x-ray needs to visualize a plane that bisects this angle. This
plane is called the imaginary bisector (this creates two equal angles and provides a
common side for the two imaginary equal triangles).
The central ray is positioned perpendicular to the imaginary bisector.
Important: When this technique is followed strictly, the image of the tooth produced is accurate.
