Which imaging series includes 14 periapicals and 2-4 bite wings?

• A. FMX (Full Mouth of X-Rays)
• B. Panoramic X-ray
• C. Periapical Radiographs
• D. Bite-Wing Radiographs

Answer: (A)

A full-mouth radiography series is designed to give a complete picture of the teeth and supporting structures. It combines periapical views that show the tooth roots and surrounding bone with bite-wing views that focus on the crowns of adjacent teeth and the interproximal spaces. This mix lets the clinician evaluate root health and bone levels, as well as detect interproximal caries and early bone loss. The described set—with multiple periapical images plus several bite-wing images—fits this comprehensive combo. The other options describe single-view or single-purpose imaging: a panoramic image is one wide view of the jaws, periapicals show only the roots, and bite-wings show only interproximal areas. So the imaging series that includes both periapicals and bite-wings as a full survey is the full-mouth radiography set.
