The Single Bitewing mode, either right or left, means that only the
corresponding dentition sector is irradiated; for the Right side the
emission will start from the beginning, to just after the mid sagittal
plane for the right part. For the left, it will start just before the mid
sagittal plane and continue until the end of the rotation. The exam
is performed with the same trajectory of the Ortho Rad Panoramic
exam, reducing the rays' emission time to include just molar and
pre-molar teeth.
This exam is normally used when it is already known that the
patient has a problem on one side of the bite-sectors of the arch,
so it is possible to reduce patient irradiation.
Follow the instructions for normal panoramic for patient
positioning.
The bilateral Bitewing mode, right and left, means that the two
bite-sectors are irradiated; the exam is performed with the same
trajectory of the standard panoramic exam, reducing the rays'
emission time.
This exam is normally used when it is already known that the
patient has a problem on the bite-sectors of the arch, so it is
possible to reduce patient irradiation.
Follow the instructions for normal panoramic for patient
positioning.
