Bitewing and Digital Bitewing Radiography for Detection of Caries Lesions

Department of Oral Radiology, Royal Dental College, University of Aarhus, Vennelyst Blvd., DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark; awenzel{at}odont.au.dk

When radiography is applied in the clinic for caries detection, the recommended technique is bitewing projection (Gröndahl, 1994). This technique was introduced by Raper (1925) and has continued with only minor alterations. The aims of this report are to provide evidence for (1) optimal bitewing recording for individual examinations and clinical trials, (2) advantages and disadvantages of digital receptors for bitewing examinations, (3) the diagnostic outcomes and limitations of bitewing radiography, and (4) computer-automated detection of caries.
