The extra-oral bitewing is becoming increasingly popular among clinicians to help overcome some of the challenges posed when taking intra-oral radiographs for paediatric patients. When combined with clinical examination, this radiographic view provides important diagnostic information in the management of caries in the posterior dentition. In this article, the use of extra-oral bitewings will be explored. The introduction of a decision tree provides the dental practitioner working in either a primary or secondary care setting, a pathway to assist with deciding the optimal radiographic prescription. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Extra-oral bitewings can be a useful radiographic tool for dental caries diagnosis in the mixed dentition.

The unprecedented educational challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic continue to offer opportunities to update, improve and strengthen the dental curriculum. Intra-oral radiographic methods were restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic due to their aerosol-generating nature, which resulted in extra-oral radiographs being predominantly used.1The strict usage of face masks during the pandemic, which continues to date, emerged a new patient preparation error in dental radiology.

A Literature Review on the Uncommon Use of Extraoral Periapical Radiography

Periapical radiography is a regular radiographic procedure performed by dentists. However, at times, it may not be possible to position the image receptor into a patient’s mouth in an optimized or practical way. For these cases, some dentists advocated the use of extraoral periapical radiography (EOPA). This literature review aimed to review the dental literature on the use of EOPA. In October 2023, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched to identify papers that reported on the use of EOPA, supplemented by manual reference tracing and Google Scholar searches. After screening, 18 papers published between 2003 and 2022 were identified, including 14 original articles and 4 reviews. From very limited and conflicting evidence, it was found that root length/working length measurements between EOPA and IOPA did not significantly differ or EOPA showed inferiority. No data were available to compare EOPA with other extraoral modalities such as panoramic radiography. The technique used in EOPA to visualize posterior teeth in the maxilla and mandible varied across studies, such as the vertical angulation of the primary beam, whether mouth should be opened or closed, and whether a holder should be used or not. At the current time, EOPA probably should not be advocated for regular use.
