If periapical radiographs are available, there is no need to expose additional bitewing radiographs

Indicate whether the statement is true or false


False. The bitewing radiograph often images decay and the height of the alveolar bone crest better than periapical radiographs. It is because of this improved imaging for these conditions that bitewing radiographs are taken in conjunction with periapical radiographs of the same area when exposing a full mouth series.
