This program produces bitewing images from premolar
and molar areas including parts of maxilla, mandible and
rami. The bottom of the maxillary sinus as well as the
mandibular canal and the mental foramen are also visible.
The bitewing program uses interproximal angulation
projection geometry.
In the bitewing program radiation dose is reduced
compared to the standard panoramic program.
and a shadow of the opposite side teeth may therefore
be visible in the radiograph.
Panoramic program Standard + TMJ takes exposures of
teeth and both temporomandibular joints (TMJs). The
program uses optimal and adjustable imaging angles for
TMJ exposures.
The exposure is taken in two stages. Teeth are imaged
during the first exposure (1/2) and both TMJs during the
second exposure (2/2).
