    Area of Science:

    • Dental Radiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging Quality

    Background:

    • Bitewing radiography is crucial for diagnosing interproximal caries and periodontal disease.
    • Suboptimal radiographic quality can lead to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence of common errors in posterior bitewing radiographs.
    • To identify specific error types and their frequencies in public dental clinics.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 2409 posterior bitewing radiographs from public dental clinics in Buskerud, Norway.
    • Evaluation of radiographs based on established criteria for image quality and technical accuracy.

    Main Results:

    • Only 4.6% of radiographs met the criteria for acceptable quality.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Incorrect film positioning (42.7%) was the most frequent error.
  • Other common errors included wrong horizontal angulation (10.6%), cone cutting (4.3%), and insufficient film washing (7.7%).

    • Conclusions:

    • A high prevalence of technical errors significantly compromises the diagnostic value of posterior bitewing radiographs.
    • Systematic errors in film placement and processing necessitate targeted interventions.
    • Improving radiographic quality is essential for accurate dental diagnosis and patient care.
