The SLOB rule for localizing an object on radiographs stands for:

  1. Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal
  2. Same Buccal, Opposite Lingual
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal

  • A. Correct. SLOB = Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal: if the object moves the SAME direction as the tube/cone shift, it is LINGUAL; if it moves OPPOSITE, it is BUCCAL.
  • B. Incorrect. This reverses the rule; the lingual object moves WITH the cone, not against it.
