Abstract

Bitewing radiography is an intraoral radiography to view the tooth surface which includes the crown of the tooth as well as the alveolar crest of the upper and lower jaw at the same receptor. The use of film holders and silicone loops in the bitewing technique helps standardize taking radiographs, but there has been no research that shows a comparison of the quality of radiographs using silicone loops and film holders. This study aimed to compare the quality of bitewing radiography using silicone loops and film holders. This study is observational analytics comparative study using 24 radiograph bitewings. Bitewing radiograph was done by taking radiograph using dental cast with ten natural teeth which is caninus, premolar, and molars maxilla and mandible on one side of the jaw. The results showed there is not significantly difference between bitewing radiograph quality using silicon loop and film holder with p-value>0,05, for coverage object, density, contrast, sharpness, geometry, and overlapping. Silicon loop can be used as alternative device for taking bitewing radiograph.
