The bitewing radiograph as an assessment tool in fixed prosthodontics

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2004
summary  Molar crown preparations, as described in the literature, have standard forms dictated by the demands of retention, resistance and the physical properties of materials. Standard designs may not be appropriate for all patients because of ethnic variations in tooth shape, pulp size and dentine thickness.

Digital Bitewing Radiographs

2019
Bitewing radiography is an established aid for detection and evaluation of proximal caries lesions. With the introduction of digital radiography, new modalities became available which potentially can add value to caries detection and diagnosis. Digital radiography may provide some benefits over conventional radiographs.

A method for obtaining periodic identical bitewing radiographs

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1974
ABSTRACT – A method for obtaining periodic identical bitewing radiographs has been developed using impression.s of the occlusal surface of molars and premolars. Two positioning devices, one fixed to the film holder, and the other mounted on the X‐ray tube, were used in order to obtain periodic identical radiographs. Because no fixed connection between

Prediction of efficacy of bitewing radiographs for caries detection

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1990
Although bitewing (BW) radiographs play an indispensable role in the detection of interproximal caries, it is not always clear when they should be made. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that a person's caries and restorative history may be predictive of his or her caries future.

Errors in diagnosis of approximal caries on bitewing radiographs

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1975
ABSTRACT The number of overlapped and unreadable surfaces occurring on bitewing radiographs of 1,417 children participating in a clinical trial was recorded. Of erupted surfaces, only 73.3 % were completely visible to both participating examiners.

Value of bitewing radiographs in detection of occlusal caries

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1979
Abstract A system of diagnosing occlusal caries from bitewing radiographs was developed in an attempt to overcome the problems of clinical diagnosis found in other studies. Standardised bitewing radiographs for 1172 Berkshire schoolchildren aged 11–13 years who were participating in a toothpaste trial, were assessed for occlusal caries under uniform ...

An in vivo evaluation in children of the HPL bitewing device

Journal of Dentistry, 1989
The HPL bitewing device, a new beam-aiming collimating bitewing film holder, has recently been developed. The aims of this study were to assess the practicability of using the new device clinically and to compare the diagnostic yield obtained with the new technique with those obtained using a conventional freehand method and the Rinn XCP instrument ...

Diagnostic significance of intratissue contrast in bitewing radiographs

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, 1969
Abstract A double-blind means of quantitating the ability of dentists to recognize proximal radiolucencies in bitewing radiographs has been employed to test the hypothesis that the diagnostic quality of bitewing radiographs is maximized when the contrast, or density gradient registered within the image of dental enamel, is maximized.

Risk assessment from bitewing radiography.

Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 1991
The effective dose equivalent and the effective dose from bitewing radiography have been estimated for three different X-ray sets under 10 different exposure conditions using the ICRP 26 (1977) and the ICRP 60 (1990) recommendations. The results of dose measurements in the head and neck with an Alderson Rando phantom and thermoluminescence dosimeters ...

The Bitewing Radiograph: Origin, Evolution, and Diagnostic Value

Journal of the History of Dentistry
The evolution of the bitewing radiograph has a varied history, vacillating between who did it first and who popularized its commercial applications. However, its importance in diagnosis and application to multiple areas of dentistry cannot be underestimated, especially as oral care has adopted a minimally invasive approach to tooth retention.
