Bite-wing Technique's other name
|
Interproximal Technique
|
|
|
What is the Bite-Wing Technique?
|
a method used to examine the interproximal surfaces of teeth
|
|
|
Interproximal
|
Between to adjacent surfaces
|
|
|
Interproximal examination
|
intraoral examination used to inspect the crowns of both maxillary and mandibular teeth on a single image
|
|
|
Bite-wing Receptor
|
type of receptor used in interproximal examination. The bite wing has a wing where the patient bites on.
|
|
|
alveolar bone
|
bone that supports and encases the roots of teeth
|
|
|
crestal bone
|
coronal portion of alveolar bone found between teeth: also known as the alveolar crest.
|
|
|
contact areas
|
The area of a tooth that touches an adjacent tooth: the area where adjacent tooth surfaces contact eachother.
|
|
|
Horizontal bite-wing
|
The receptor is placed in the mouth with the long portion of the receptor in horizontal direction.
|
|
|
Opened contacts
|
on a dental image, opened contacts appear as thin radiolucent lines between adjacent tooth surfaces.
|
|
|
overlapped contacts
|
On a dental image, the area where the contact area of one tooth is superimposed over the contact area of an adjacent tooth is superimposed over the contact area of an adjacent tooth is referred to as overlapped contacts
|
|
|
Vertical bite-wing
|
The bite wing is placed in the mouth with the long portion of the receptor in a vertical direction.
|
|
|
Beam alignment device
|
a device used to position an intraoral receptor in the mouth and maintain the receptor in position during the radiographic procedure.
|
|
|
Bitewing tab
|
a heavy paperboard tab or loop that is fitted around an intraoral receptor and is used to stabilize the receptor during the procedure.
|
|
|
angulation
|
term used to describe the alignment of the central ray of the x-ray beam in both horizontal and vertical planes.
|
|
|
Horizontal angulation
|
refers to the positioning of the central ray in a horizontal , or side-to-side plane
|
|
|
vertical angulation
|
refers to the positioning of the PID in a vertical or up and down plane.
|
|
|
Postitive angulation
|
If the PID is positioned above the occlusal plane and the central ray is directed downward
|
|
|
Negative angulation
|
if the PID is positioned below the occlusal plane and the central ray is positioned upward
|
|
|
Exposure sequence
|
definite order for receptor placements and exposure, must be followed
|
|
|
CMRS
|
complete mouth radio graphic series
|
|
|
Receptor placement
|
specific area where the receptor must be positioned before exposure.
|
|
|
Torus or tori
|
a bony growth in the oral cavity
|
|
|
Mandibular tori
|
bony growths along the lingual aspect (tongue side) of the mandible
|
