An image taken of the teeth used for diagnostic purposes.
Are intended to evaluate the teeth, roots, periapical region of the tooth and bone level of a patient mouth.
1. Radiographs should record the complete areas of interest on the image.
2. It is essential to obtain the full length of the tooth and at least 2mm of periapical bone.
Receptor placement.
Receptor position.
Vertical angulation.
Horizontal angulation.
Central ray.
It is the most accurate intraoral radiographic with a least amount of radiation exposure to the patient.
The receptor (digital sensor or film) must be cover the correct teeth.
The receptor must be positioned parallel to the long axis of the tooth and away from the teeth.
The central ray of the x-ray beam must be directed perpendicular to the image receptor and the long axis of the tooth.
The central ray of the x-ray beam must be directed through the contact areas between the teeth.
When the horizontal angulation is correct, the central x-ray beam will be directed through the contact areas, otherwise, overlap will occur.
The x-ray beam must be centered on the receptor to ensure that all areas exposed.
Primary beam is directed perpendicular to an imaginary line that bisects the angle between image receptor and tooth.
Similar to paralleling technique, the receptor must be cover the correct teeth.
Placing the receptor directly against the tooth as possible.
You may see operators asking the patient to hold the film with his finger to stabilize the film in the mouth.
Holding the film/sensor exposes the patient’s hand and finger to unnecessary radiation.
The central ray of the x-ray beam must be directed perpendicular to the imaginary line that divides the angle formed by the long axis of the tooth and the receptor.
Same as paralleling technique the central ray of the x-ray beam must be directed through the contact areas between the teeth.
When the horizontal angulation is correct, the central x-ray beam will be directed through the contact areas, otherwise, overlap will occur.
The x-ray beam must be centered on the receptor to ensure that all areas exposed.
Also know as:
Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal.
Used to identify the buccal or lingual location of objects ( Impacted teeth, root canals, etc.) In relation to a reference object usually a tooth.
Same Lingual, Opposite Buccal.
If the image of an object moves mesially when the tube head is moved mesially ( same direction), the object is located on the lingual.
If the image of an object moves distally when the tube head is moved medially( opposite direction), the object is locate on the buccal.

Bitewing views are used to detect interproximal caries and are particularly useful in detecting early carious lesions that are not clinically evident and examining crestal bone levels between the teeth.
