The hypothesis of the present study was that previous experience of caries may serve as an indicator for individualised bitewing examinations in 15-19-old adolescents. One hundred adolescents, all 19 years old, were randomly selected from the files of public dental clinics in the County of Orebro. For 93 adolescents the total number of radiographs were summed for every patient from the age of 3 to 19 by assessing the files of public dental clinics and by assessing the files of the dental radiology department. All sets of bitewing radiographs from 14 up to and including the age of 19 were assessed with respect to approximal caries. The average number of intraoral radiographs exposed in a patient from the age of 3 through 19 was 24.4. It was shown that 70 to 80% of 14-19-year-old-adolescents had had a bitewing examination every year. The decision to perform a bite-wing examination in a 15-year-old was significantly correlated to the number of surfaces with initial caries at the age of 14. In the other age groups, none of the investigated variables was found to be significantly correlated to the performance of radiographic examinations.
