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.

known as the alveolar ridge.
Contact areas: It is the area of a tooth that touches an adjacent tooth, the area
where the adjacent surfaces of the tooth come into contact with each other.

in the mouth and to keep the receptor in position during the radiographic procedure.
The beam alignment device eliminates the need for the patient to stabilize the
receptor with the tab of the bite fin. An example of a fin device
The commercially available intraoral bite for beam alignment is the instrument of
XCP bite tab; this instrument can be used to establish the receptor of the tab

Bite wing instruments Rinn XCP (Rinn Corporation, Elgin, IL).


bite wing instruments include: horizontal and vertical bite block,
plastic rings with target, and metal indicator arm. To reduce the amount of
radiation that the patient receives, a ring collimator with resource can be added
the plastic ring with a lens. These beam alignment devices are
reusable and must be sterilized after each use.

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

around a receiver and is used to stabilize the receiver during the procedure.
When using film, the bite wing is oriented towards the bite strip which is the
portion of the tab that extends from the white side (tube side) of the film. The
bite wing receptors can be purchased with unit tabs, or they can be
built by assembling a periapical receptor and a bite tab.
bite wing tabs can be used in horizontal interproximal projections or

bite, a receiver of size 2 is placed with the long portion of the receiver in a
vertical direction.
Size 3; is longer and narrower than the standard size 2 receiver and is used
only for the bite fin exhibitions. A receptor is exposed in each
side of the arch to examine all contact areas of the premolars and molars.
A size 3 receptor is placed with the long portion of the receptor facing
horizontal.
In the adult patient, a size 2 receptor is recommended for exposures of
biting wing. Size 3 receiver is not recommended. With a size 3 receiver,
overlapping contacts often result due to the difference in the curvature of the arch between
the areas of the premolars and molars. Additionally, the areas of the bony ridges cannot be seen
adequately in the dental images of patients with bone loss due to the
narrow shape of the receptor.

ANGLE DEVICE POSITION INDICATOR

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 (-).

RULES OF THE BITE WING TECHNIQUE

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.

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

The step-by-step procedure for the exposure of bitewing receptors


includes patient preparation, equipment preparation; placement methods of the
receptor. Before exposing any dental bite tab, they must be completed with
the infection control procedures.

PATIENT PREPARATION

to begin the procedure.
2. Place the patient in an upright position in the chair. Adjust the chair's level to a
comfortable working height.
3. Adjust the headrest to support and position the patient's head. The head
The patient's arm should be positioned in such a way that the upper arch is parallel to the
the floor and the midsagittal plane (midline) are perpendicular to the ground.
4. Place and secure the lead apron with a thyroid collar on the patient.
5. Have the patient remove all objects from the mouth (e.g., removable dentures,
retainers, chewing gum) that may interfere with the procedure. The lenses
They should also be eliminated.

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.

EXPOSITION SEQUENCE FOR THE LOCATION OF


RECEIVER

When using the bite wing technique there must be a sequence of exposure, or it must be

The number of bitewing images needed for a patient is based on the


curvature of the arch and the number of teeth present in the posterior areas. The curvature of the

Bite is typically exposed to each arc loop. Because of the curvature of the arc.
It differs in most adult patients, a total of 4 bite tabs are exposed: 1
right premolar, 1 right molar, 1 left premolar, and 1 left molar.

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:

First of all, expose all the anterior periapical receptors.


2. Proceed with the posterior periapical receivers.
3. Finish with the bite wing exposures.
The sequence ends with bite fin exposures because of these
receptors are relatively easy for the patient to tolerate. It is not wise to end the
exam with difficult exposures (e.g., painful locations or that provoke the reflex
nauseating)

In the patient who only requires a bite splint, the following is recommended
exposure sequence for each side of the mouth:

1. Expose the premolar to the bite wing first. (This receptor is


easier for the patient to tolerate and is less likely to evoke the gag reflex.)

2. Expose the molar with the bite wing last.

PLACEMENT OF THE BITE WING RECEPTOR

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.

GUIDELINES FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE BITE WING RECEPTOR

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.

PLACEMENT OF THE BITE WING RECEPTORS

The placement of receivers for the four bite fin exposures includes the
next:

Right and left premolar exposures


Right and left molar exposures

It is important to note that in the procedures for premolars and molars, the exposures
with bite wing, it is recommended that the receptor be placed in the patient's mouth
after the vertical and horizontal angles have been established.

MODIFICATIONS OF THE BITE WING TECHNIQUE

The modifications in the bite fin technique can be used to adapt to


variations in anatomical conditions. These modifications may be necessary in
patients who have edentulous spaces or bone growths.

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
step by step procedure.

BASIC CONCEPTS

TERMINOLOGY

Before describing the principles of the occlusal technique, a number of basic terms must
to be defined as follows:

Occlusal technique: Method used to expose a receptor in the occlusal examination.
Occlusal receptor: In the occlusal technique, an intraoral receptor of size 4 is used.

however, the size 2 receiver is typically used.

PURPOSE AND USE


The occlusal technique is a complementary radiographic technique that is commonly used in
combination with periapical images or bitewing images. The occlusal technique is used
when large areas of the maxilla or mandible need to be visualized. Image

for the patient. Occlusal images can be used for the following purposes:

To locate the retained roots of extracted diets.


To locate supernumerary (extra) teeth that are unerupted or impacted
To locate foreign bodies in the maxilla or jaw
To locate salivary calculi in the duct of the submandibular gland
To locate and assess the extent of the lesions in the maxilla or in the mandible
To evaluate the limits of the maxillary sinus
To evaluate fractures of the maxilla or the mandible
To facilitate the examination of patients who cannot open their mouths more than a few
millimeters
Examine the area of a cleft palate
To measure changes in the size and shape of the maxilla or the mandible.

of the patient, preparation of equipment and methods for placing the receiver. Before exposing
No occlusal receptor, infection control procedures are mandatory.
PATIENT PREPARATION

After the completion of infection control procedures and preparation


In the treatment and supply area, the patient must be seated.

After seating the patient, the dental radiologist must prepare the patient for the
exhibition of the receptors.

PATIENT PREPARATION FOR OCCLUSAL TECHNIQUE

1. Briefly explain the radiographic procedure to the patient.


2. Place the patient in an upright position in the chair, it should be adjusted to a height of
comfortable work.
3. Adjust the headrest to support and position the patient's head. For
maxillary occlusal exposures, the patient's head should be positioned in such a way
so that the upper arch is parallel to the ground and the midsagittal plane (line
media) is perpendicular to the ground. For some lower occlusal exposures, the
the patient's head should be tilted and positioned in such a way that the plane
the occlusal is perpendicular to the ground. For others, the patient is positioned in such a way that
the occlusal plane is parallel to the floor.
4. Put the lead apron with the collar for the thyroid on the patient, and secure it.
5. Ask the patient to remove all objects from their mouth that may interfere with the
procedure (e.g., removable prosthetics, retainers, chewing gum.) The lenses
they must also be removed.

EQUIPMENT PREPARATION

After preparing the patient, the team must also be ready before the
exposure of the receptor.

PREPARATION OF THE EQUIPMENT FOR THE


Oclusal Technique

Establish the exposure factors regarding the unit of


X-rays (kilovoltage, milliamperage, and time) accordingly
with the manufacturer's recommendations for the receiver. The
position indicator device (DIP) can be used with the occlusal technique, either
short (8 inches) or long (16 inches).

FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES

If two semitransparent objects present themselves in front of our view (for example, one is spherical

identify which is in front and which is behind.

If we transfer these effects to the imaginary case of a retained upper jaw canine.

we can only establish its position on the front plane, without being able to determine its
vestibular or palatine location with respect to this.

To elaborate on what has been presented, we can see in the following image, two location variants.
vestibular or palatine of the mentioned canine; either of them, when projected onto a
radiographic film, they provided us with a similar image of retention, but without defining its
palatal or vestibular location with respect to the dental arch.

This is how, thanks to the virtual displacement of this optical effect, we were also able to locate its

observation, we made the same displacement in the opposite direction and observed that

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.

STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE

The step-by-step procedure of localization techniques includes the localization of


patient and placement of the receiver and comparisons.

PATIENT AND EQUIPMENT PREPARATION

Before exposing the receivers using the localization techniques, they must be
completed the infection control procedures and the repaired equipment must
be completed.

CONDITIONS OF THE CENTRAL RAY


According to what has been seen, Clark develops his method aimed at achieving the palatine location or

vestibular of any element that is located within the maxillae and that consists of

in the figure.

According to the diagram with the three presented radiographic images:

These virtual displacements would indicate that the studied canine is located vestibularly.

nearby objects move in the opposite direction to the observer (in this case to the
incident of the central ray.

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

molar

The respective X-rays are accompanied by a diagram of them.

From these virtual movements of the obtained images, it is deduced that, if the piece in
study accompanies the incidents (focusing on the incident taken from mesial and
distal rising in the incidence taken from distal) its location above is evidenced
palatine regarding the dental pieces of the arch. If this piece under study had
displaced in the opposite direction to what was seen, its location would be vestibular.

INDICATIONS

For the localization of any element found within the bone tissue and the
maxillae, for example, a foreign body, a dental piece of normal count but
retained, an intraosseous supernumerary dental piece, odontomas, etc.
