MOLAR BITEWING PROJECTION

Because the maxillary and mandibular molar contact areas may not be open from the same horizontal angulation, they may not be visible on one receptor. In this case, it may be desirable to open the maxillary molar contacts because the mandibular molar contacts usually are open on the periapical receptors
