English term or phrase: vertical bitewing
Definition from American Dental Association:
A dental image with a central projection on which the teeth can close, holding it in a vertical position for the radiographic examination of several upper and lower teeth simultaneously.

Example sentence(s):
  • For patients with alveolar bone loss, VBW are superior to HBW when assessing bone levels, density, morphology, tooth furcations, and evaluating interproximal contact areas for caries. It is recommended that the vertical bitewing technique be taught as a standard in dental, dental hygiene, and dental assisting schools for adult patients showing evidence of posterior interdental bone loss. Pubmed
  • A comparative analysis of horizontal versus vertical bitewings was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of each method in capturing the distal of canine and in opening interproximal tooth contacts. Abstract Archives
  • On a properly positioned and correctly exposed horizontal or vertical bitewing radiograph, one would not be able to observe the periapical area around the involved teeth, unless the teeth were anomalously short. Dental Economics

bitewing


Definition from own experience or research:
Bitewing är en röntgenbild placerad i en hållare som patienten sedan biter på, vilket gör att kronorna på tänderna i både över- och underkäken kommer med på samma bild.

Example sentence(s):
  • Den vanligaste typen av röntgenundersökning inom allmäntandvården är bitewing, vilken i första hand är avsedd för kariesdiagnostik och marginal diagnostik. - Region Norrbotten/Vårddokument  
  • Kraven på en bitewing-undersökning är att alla icke inspekter- bara approximalytor från distalt på hörntand till distalt om sista tand ska vara avbildade för kariesdiagnostik. - Region Norrbotten/Vårddokument
