Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The ____ image is used to examine the interproximal surfaces of the teeth and is particularly useful for the detection of dental caries and the evaluation of alveolar come levels. The receptor is placed into the mouth parallel to the crowns of the maxillary and mandibular teeth

A	Periapical
B	paralleling technique
C	bisecting angle technique
D	bitewing technique

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Bitewing Technique The bitewing radiographic image is used to examine the interproximal surfaces of the teeth and is particularly useful for the detection of dental caries and the evaluation of alveolar bone levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bitewing radiographs (BWR) are the standard method of diagnosing interproximal dental caries. In Japan, bitewing radiographs are rarely used.

Detailed explanation-3: -To date, intraoral bitewing radiographs (BTW) are still the primary diagnostic tool used for the detection of interproximal caries despite several disadvantages, including radiation exposure and discomfort.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bitewing Radiographs: Also known as interproximal radiographs, they are commonly used to evaluate inter-proximal surfaces of the upper and lower teeth when the patient bites on the film. This is useful for diagnosing dental caries.
