ABSTRACT:
A bitewing x-ray film holder for interproximal radiographic analysis. The device includes a bite block including a biting portion, a dental medium holder for placement of a dental x-ray imaging medium, and an alignment guide extending along the biting portion to aid a dental professional in achieving a perpendicular or near perpendicular relationship of the x-ray medium to the interproximal region of clenched maxilliary and mandibular teeth. The bite block also includes a textured portion extending substantially adjacent to the alignment guide to provide friction between the biting surfaces of the teeth and the bite block.
