What is another term for bite-wing x-rays?

  1. Extraoral x-rays

  2. Interproximal x-rays

  3. Periapical x-rays

  4. Panoramic x-rays

The correct answer is: Interproximal x-rays

Bite-wing x-rays are also known as interproximal x-rays because they capture images of the teeth's interproximal areas, which are the spaces between the teeth. Option A, extraoral x-rays, refers to images taken outside of the mouth and do not specifically focus on the interproximal areas. Option C, periapical x-rays, focus on the entire tooth rather than just the interproximal areas. Option D, panoramic x-rays, capture a wide view of the entire mouth and are not specific to the interproximal areas.
