A bitewing is a radiograph taken to visualize the crowns of the posterior teeth and the height of the alveolar bone in relation to the cementoenamel junctions, commonly used to examine for interdental caries and recurrent caries under existing restorations.

How many bitewing radiographs can be taken per year legally?

"Legally" there is no limit to the number of bitewing x-rays that can be taken. That is strictly a matter between the patient and the dentist. Whatever they agree to is right. On the other hand, it may be that the patient's insurance will not pay for more than a pre-determined number of bitewings each year. This is an issue of insurance coverage, not a matter of law. Bitewing xrays are an important tool in dentistry. They help answer the questions "is there unseen tooth decay or other pathology? Does the restoration conform to the prep?" For most people four bitewings (two on each side) annually is sufficient to answer those questions. Some people, due to their high rate of decay, may need bitwings more frequently. Again, this is a decision for the patient and their dentist.


A bitewing dental film is an example of extraoral?

No. Extraoral radiograpy is when a person's head is sitting in still and the machine moves around outside of their head. Intraoral radiography is the use of bitewings to get a more detailed and specific view of a certain area of the mouth. Ok, so I'm a little bad at explaining things, hope I helped though. =)
