In moving from the incisor film to the canine film, the canine
film to the premolar film and the premolar film to the molar
film, the tubehead moves distally and the beam is directed
more mesially. There is not much change in angulation from
the premolar to the molar film; the normal situation would
be that the beam is directed slightly more from the distal (or
to the mesial) as the tubehead is moved distally for the
molar projection.

Mandibular PA
In moving from the maxillary periapical to the bitewing
and from the bitewing to the mandibular periapical, the
tubehead moves down and the beam is redirected
upward (opposite direction; decreased vertical
angulation).
Vertical movement
For the films above, we know that the tubehead was moved
distally from the premolar to the molar film. The zygomatic
process (red arrows) is located at the distal aspect of the 2nd
molar on the premolar film and it is located over the distal
aspect of the 1st molar on the molar film. This indicates that
it moved mesially as the tubehead moved distally. We know
that the zygomatic process is buccal to the teeth and, using
the SLOB rule, it follows that the x-ray beam was directed
more mesially on the molar film (Buccal object moved
opposite to tubehead movement).
