Résumé
The development of specialized panoramic radiograph machine software has spawned the introduction of an innovative and promising dental radiographic examination type: extraoral bite-wings. But does this unconventional type of imaging belong in the bite-wing family? Is there any relationship at all to the conventional bite-wing radiograph? The purpose of this article is not to make a case for the diagnostic effectiveness of one system over the other; this is best left to further clinical evaluation. Instead, the authors intend to provide an outline of a few key and distinguishing elements of the intraoral bite-wing radiographic examination followed by those of the extraoral panoramic substitute and draw attention to the importance of reimagining the increasingly universal naming convention of this novel radiographic examination, the paradoxical "extraoral bite-wing radiograph", based on the fundamental principles of each of these imaging systems. The accuracy of clinical and technical terminology in oral radiography is of paramount importance to both the profession and patients, especially when considering emerging technologies.

BACKGROUND

OBJECTIVES
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article is not to make a case for the diagnostic effectiveness of one system over the other; this is best left to further clinical evaluation. Instead, the authors intend to provide an outline of a few key and distinguishing elements of the intraoral bite-wing radiographic examination followed by those of the extraoral panoramic substitute and draw attention to the importance of reimagining the increasingly universal naming convention of this novel radiographic examination, the paradoxical "extraoral bite-wing radiograph", based on the fundamental principles of each of these imaging systems.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS
CONCLUSIONS
The accuracy of clinical and technical terminology in oral radiography is of paramount importance to both the profession and patients, especially when considering emerging technologies.
