Understanding Bitewings
Bitewings is an intraoral examination, illustrating the crown of the upper and lower teeth of the same patient side on a fluorographic phosphor film. Its high diagnostic value makes it a fundamental and necessary imaging tool for dentists to highlight potential caries undetectable in a clinical examination.
A Bitewings series typically consists of four X-rays - two for each side. In young children, sometimes only one Bitewing X-ray per side is necessary.
The frequency of Bitewing X-rays depends on various factors, including age, tooth development stage, and caries development risk. During childhood or adolescence, or for adults with high caries rate, Bitewing X-rays can be taken every 6 to 12 months. Frequent requests are intended to prevent late detection and rapid cary spread, potentially requiring extensive treatment or even resulting in tooth loss.

Procedure: How is a Bitewing Test Performed?
Executing a Bitewing X-ray requires no special preparation. The patient is seated while the operator uses special X-ray retainers and the parallel cone technique, to scan the crown of the upper and lower teeth of each side on a special phosphor film placed inside the mouth.
Following this, the image is transferred to a computer using a special scanner. The parallelization method used to visualize teeth helps reduce magnification and avoid overlapping images.

Results and Radiation Exposure
The X-ray examination results are printed immediately and can also be sent electronically to the patient and their dentist upon request.
The radiation from a Bitewing X-ray is minuscule and can be safely performed on pregnant women if necessary. Our modern equipment ensures minimal radiation exposure for the best results, using a digital scanner system with high-sensitivity phosphor plates and the parallel cone technique reduces scattered radiation.

Advantages and Unique Features:
Using the parallel cone technique, a Bitewing X-ray offers:
High definition
High resolution
Reduced magnification
Absence of coprojections of anatomical structures
Bitewing is the preferred X-ray type for caries detection and is also widely used to investigate pathologies not discernible from other imaging methods (e.g., panoramic X-ray).
