BITE WING TECHNIQUE
The dental radiologist must master a variety of intraoral imaging techniques. The
bite wing technique is used to examine the interproximal surfaces of the
teeth. An image of a bite wing includes the crowns of the maxillary teeth and
mandibular areas, interproximal areas, and the areas of the crest bone in the same image.
Bite wing images are used to detect interproximal caries.
dental) and they are particularly useful in the detection of early cavities that are not
clinically evident. Bite wing images are also useful for examining
the levels of the bony crest between the teeth.
Before the dental radiologist can use this important technique, it is done
necessary to understand basic concepts, including terminology and the
principles related to the bite wing technique. In addition, the dental radiologist must
understand patient preparation, equipment preparation, sequencing of the
exposition, and the placement procedures of the receivers used in the technique of
bite fin.
The purpose of this topic is to present the basic concepts and describe the preparation.
of the patient, the preparation of the equipment, as well as the placement procedures of the
receivers used in the bitewing technique. This chapter also describes
the advantages and disadvantages of the bite wing technique and review the useful tips.
BASIC CONCEPTS
The understanding of the following basic terms is necessary before describing the technique.
of bite fin:
Overlapping contacts: In a dental image, it refers to the area where the zone of
the contact of one tooth overlaps the contact area of an adjacent tooth
this is called overlapping contacts.
Vertical bite wing: The X-ray film receptor is placed in the mouth.
with the long portion of the receiver in a vertical direction.
The basic principles of the bite wing technique can be described as follows:
The receiver is placed in the mouth parallel to the crowns of both teeth.
maxillae
2. The receiver stabilizes when the patient bites on the tab of the fin.
Bite or on the alignment device of the X-ray film.
3. The central ray of the X-ray beam is directed through the contacts of the teeth,
using a vertical angle of +10 degrees.
Rinn XCP bite alert instruments with collimators are recommended for
the exhibitions with bite tabs. These devices include rings with a target that
assist in the alignment of the DIP and collimators, noticeably reducing the amount
of exposed radiation. These instruments are simple to place and easy to style. According to the
American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial
Radiology recommends the use of a rectangular collimator to reduce the amount of
radiation that the patient receives. For information on the use of the fin instruments
In bite Rinn XCP, the dental radiologist must refer to the provided instructions.
by the manufacturer.
In the bite wing technique, the angulation of the DIP is critical. The angulation is
a term used to describe the alignment of the central ray of the X-ray beam in
both planes, horizontal and vertical. The angular shape can be varied by moving the DIP in
a horizontal or vertical direction. The use of the XCP bite block instruments with
rings with target dictate the appropriate angular shape of the DIP. However, when used
a bite tab, the dental radiologist must determine angles of angulation,
horizontal and vertical.
Horizontal Angle
It refers to the placement of the central ray in the horizontal plane, or from side to side. The
bite wing techniques, parallelism, and the bisector all use the same principles of
horizontal angulation.
Correct horizontal angulation: with the correct horizontal angulation the central ray
it is directed perpendicular to the curvature of the arc and through the areas of
contact of the teeth. As a result, the contact areas in the exposed image
They appear 'open' and can be examined to evidence the caries.
Incorrect horizontal angulation: incorrect horizontal angulation results in
result of overlapping contact areas (not open). An image with areas of
superimposed interproximal contact cannot be used to examine the areas
interproximal areas of the teeth to evidence cavities.
Vertical angulation
Refers to the placement of the DIP in the vertical plane, or from top to bottom. The
vertical angulation can be positive or negative and is measured in degrees according to those seen in the
exterior of the headpiece. If the DIP is placed on the occlusal plane and the central ray is directed
Downward, the vertical angular shape is called positive (+).
If the DIP is placed below the occlusal plane and the central ray is directed upward, the shape
angular vertical is called negative (-).
Five basic rules must be followed when using the bite fin technique:
Placement of the receiver: the bite wing receiver must be positioned covering
the area of the teeth prescribed to be examined. The specific placements are
they are detailed in the procedures described in the following section.
2. Position of the bite receptor: the bite wing receptor must be positioned parallel to the
crowns of the teeth of both jaws. The receptor must be stabilized when
the patient bites the tab of the bite wing or in the aligner device
from the bite fin beam.
3. Vertical angulation: when a bite-wing tab is used, the central beam
the X-ray beam must be directed at +10 degrees.
4. Horizontal angulation: when a bite wing tab is used, the ray
the center of the X-ray beam must be directed through the areas of contact between
the teeth.
5. Exposure of the receptor: the beam of X-rays must be centered on the receptor to
ensure that all areas of the receptor are exposed. Failures to center the beam of
X-rays will result in a partial image on the bitewing receptor or a section.
of cone.
PATIENT PREPARATION
EQUIPMENT PREPARATION
After the patient preparation, the equipment must be prepared to expose any
of the receptors.
1. Establish the exposure factors (milliamperage, kilovoltage, and time) of the
X-ray unit according to the recommendations of the receptor manufacturer.
2. If a beam alignment device uses the bite tab technique, open the
sterilized package that contains the device and mount the device in an area of
covered work.
3. If a bite tab is used, place the tab on the white side of the
movie, or the right side of the receiver.
When using the bite wing technique there must be a sequence of exposure, or it must be
to be followed the defined order for the placement and exposure of the receptor. The radiologist
dental must have an established routine in exposure to prevent errors and to make a
efficient use of time. Working without a sequence of exposure can lead to omissions.
an area or to expose an area twice.
When the posterior teeth are missing (e.g., in patients where the
premolars have been extracted as part of orthodontic treatment), an exposure of
bite wing on each side of the arch (instead of two) may be enough to cover the
number of teeth present.
In the patient who requires both periapical and bitewing exposures, the
sequence after recommended exposure is:
In the patient who only requires a bite splint, the following is recommended
exposure sequence for each side of the mouth:
When exposing the bite wing, each exposure has a prescribed location. Placement of
receptor, or the specific area in which the receptor must be placed before exposure,
is dictated by the teeth and the surrounding structures that must be included in the
result of the bite fin image. The specific locations described are for a
period of four series of size 2 receivers and the bite fin tabs.
variations in placement, receiver size, or the total number of exposures can
to be recommended by other reference sources or individual professionals.
1) When using film, the white side of the film always faces the tooth.
The point of identification in the film is not important in the placement of
bite fin movie.
2) In the series of posterior bite wing, the receptors are positioned horizontally or
vertically.
3) When placing the receiver, it should always be centered over the area to be
examined (as defined in the prescribed locations)
4) When placing the receiver, ask the patient to 'gently bite' on the tab of
the bite tab or in the bite block of the beam alignment device.
The placement of receivers for the four bite fin exposures includes the

tongue and the patient's teeth. Place the biting surface of the tab on the
occlusal surfaces of the mandibular teeth. Center the receptor on the second
molar mandibular; the front edge of the receptor must be aligned with the midline
of the lower second premolar. Using the index finger, hold the tab of the flap

place during steps 5 and 6.
5) Make sure that the patient's occlusal plane is parallel to the floor. In case of
need, you have to ask the patient to lower their chin.
To check the cone cut, stand directly behind the head and
look along the side of the DIP. No portion of the receiver should be visible; the
the receptor must be covered by the opening of the DIP. If the receptor is not visible, ask the
patient who "closes slowly" while you still hold the tab of the
bite wing. If any portion of the receptor is visible, it will result in a cone cut.
In such cases, the DIP should be adjusted to cover the receiver. After the DIP

BONE GROWTHS
Tori (plural tori) is a bony growth in the oral cavity. Mandibular tori are
bone growths along the lingual side (tongue side) of the mandible. When
the bite wing technique is used, mandibular tori can cause problems in the
placement of the receiver, and a modification in the technique becomes necessary.
The receptor must be placed between the torus and the tongue (not in the torus) and exposed to
continuation. With the large toris, the receptor is pushed away from the teeth. Like

OCCLUSAL TECHNIQUE
The occlusal technique is used to examine large areas of the maxilla or mandible.
Before the dental radiologist can use the occlusal technique, it is necessary to have a
complete understanding of the basic concepts. In addition, knowledge of

DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUE
The positioning of the patient, the size of the radiographic films that are used, the
distribution and position of them, the centralization and immobilization of these and the
the focal-object distance is governed by the same conditions used in the bisection technique.

nearby objects move in the opposite direction to the observer (in this case to the

If we consider the reverse possibility, the case in which the canine would be located palatally of the
dental arch, the displacement would be opposite to what is seen, thus in the radiograph with
musicalized incidence, this dental piece would virtually shift distally, that is,
following the same direction as the incident X-ray.
To expand on these concepts and taking the example that reinforces what has been seen, the case is presented
of a second premolar germ that has not completed its formation, which until the
the moment is formed by its crown.
This example is identified in the images of the figures, where in the first X-rays

displaced in the opposite direction to what was seen, its location would be vestibular.
