“…In addition, a good visibility to the intraoral objects was important for the X-ray cone alignment. An addition of the buccal traction was reported to enhance the visions of a radiographic area, thus enabling the clinicians to adjust the X-ray beam path correctly and resulting in the error reductions [ 28 ]. Hence, the more errors in and the longer time spent during the distal shifts than those during the mesial shifts were explicable by the invisibility of the intraoral objects, when using the XCP instrument.…”

“…15 Attempts to improve the quality of X-ray images have led to the introduction of positioning devices which not only provide support to the X-ray detector but also provide the right angle of the X-ray beam. 16 Still, there are large discrepancies in the frequency of usage of bitewing radiographs in different countries. In Sweden and Norway, bitewings are routinely taken along with a clinical examination in 90% of patients.…”

Background. Bitewing radiograph is one of three types of intraoral X-rays. It shows the crowns of upper and lower teeth at the same time and their marginal periodontium and it is more often used for the imaging of posterior teeth than incisors and canines. The main indication is the diagnosis of caries on the proximal surfaces, but also to evaluate the quality of dental fillings and the follow-up status of marginal periodontium.

“…In addition, using the paper loop only once makes it inefficient. 2,3,6,7 Based on Kositbowornchai et al's research, the loop technique was 1.11 times more likely to cause overlapping than the holder technique. 8 The use of silicone is common in the medical field.…”

Background: Bitewing radiography is a technique that depicts the crown of the maxillary and mandibular teeth and the crest of the alveolar bone in the same receptor. The use of film holders and paper loops in bitewing techniques is very helpful in standardising radiographs, but it has some disadvantages, including the lack of efficiency and discomfort. Therefore, silicone has been widely used in the medical field as a replacement for paper loops. Purpose: This study was conducted to describe the compatibility of the silicone material as an alternative for bitewing radiography. Methods: This research is experimental and a one-shot case study. It used the Mann–Whitney (P < 0.05) test for statistical analysis to compare the results of the radiographs using silicone loops and paper loops and to analyse the quality of each radiograph: object coverage, density, contrast, sharpness, geometry, and overlapping. Results: The images where silicone loops were used show adequate results in six radiograph quality assessments. There was no significant difference between the radiographs that were obtained using the silicon loop and the paper loop (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Silicone loops can be an alternative tool for bitewing radiography because they result in optimal image quality.
