1. A holder for a digital dental x-ray sensor of the type having a connecting cable, the holder comprising:
- a bite block affixed to an upstanding frame, said frame provided with at least one void area at least partially bound by said frame; said frame further provided with a plurality of latch fingers configured to resiliently receive the sensor in a snap-fit relation so as to removeably secure the sensor to said frame; such that when a sensor is so secured in place by said latch fingers, the connecting cable is positioned through said void area.
2. A method securing a digital dental x-ray sensor of the type having a connecting cable, comprising the steps of:
- providing a holder comprising a bite block affixed to an upstanding frame, said frame provided with at least one void area at least partially bound by said frame;
- said frame further provided with a plurality of latch fingers configured to resiliently receive the sensor in a snap-fit relation so as to removeably secure the sensor to said frame;
- inserting the sensor through said void area such that the sensor is positioned on one side of said frame while the connecting cable is positioned through said void area; if necessary turning the sensor such that it is aligned with said latch fingers and snap-fitting the sensor to said frame and into a snap-fit receiving relation with said latch fingers.
