Question: 1 / 400

Bitewing films are not taken on?

0

Edentulous patients

Bitewing films are often used for detecting dental caries (also known as cavities) or periodontal (gum) disease. These films are taken to capture the image of the teeth and supporting bone structure. This can be challenging when dealing with edentulous patients, who have no teeth at all. Edentulous patients have no teeth to capture an image of, so bitewing films would not be necessary for them. The other options, such as 0, movement during exposure, and short wavelengths, are all incorrect because they do not relate to the use or taking of bitewing films. 0 is not a relevant factor, movement during exposure can be controlled by the dental professional, and short wavelengths do not affect the use of bitewing films. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it is the only option that relates to the use of bitewing films.
