Due to anatomy a premolar bitewing radiograph will almost always exhibit overlap between the

A) distal of the lateral incisor and the mesial of the canine.
B) distal of the canine and the mesial of the first premolar.
C) distal of the first premolar and mesial of the second premolar.
D) distal of the second premolar and mesial of the first molar.


B
Explanation: A) The canine periapical and bitewing radiographs will almost always exhibit overlap between the distal of the canine and the mesial of the premolar. This overlap occurs because the curve of the arches in this region superimposes the lingual cusp of the premolar onto the distal edge of the canine.
B) The canine periapical and bitewing radiographs will almost always exhibit overlap between the distal of the canine and the mesial of the premolar. This overlap occurs because the curve of the arches in this region superimposes the lingual cusp of the premolar onto the distal edge of the canine.
C) The canine periapical and bitewing radiographs will almost always exhibit overlap between the distal of the canine and the mesial of the premolar. This overlap occurs because the curve of the arches in this region superimposes the lingual cusp of the premolar onto the distal edge of the canine.
D) The canine periapical and bitewing radiographs will almost always exhibit overlap between the distal of the canine and the mesial of the premolar. This overlap occurs because the curve of the arches in this region superimposes the lingual cusp of the premolar onto the distal edge of the canine.
