Product overview

Inventory ID: 759-2148AA

Sirona XIOS Plus posterior bite blocks with adhesive yellow are disposable intraoral positioning tools designed to capture accurate posterior dental radiographs with stable sensor placement, ranking among the best bite blocks for practices using XIOS Plus sensor systems. The adhesive backing secures digital sensors and reduces movement during exposures, while yellow color coding enables fast visual identification in busy clinics. This Complete Buyer's Guide clarifies selection and maintains consistent imaging with efficient workflows.

What makes this product stand out?

These bite blocks are engineered for stable, repeatable positioning of sensors during posterior exposures, enabling clinicians to capture clear diagnostic images with less guesswork and patient movement. The adhesive surface holds sensors securely in place without excessive pressure, improving comfort and alignment during routine imaging.

Key advantages include:

  • Adhesive backing secures sensor placement and reduces movement during exposures
  • Posterior orientation enables consistent positioning for back-tooth images with XIOS sensors
  • Yellow color coding improves quick identification and organized setup
  • Disposable design maintains efficient infection control and turnover
  • 100/Box count maintains a steady supply for busy radiography routines

What is this product made of?

These bite blocks feature disposable plastic designed for comfortable intraoral use with a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface to hold sensors. A stable, secure fit minimizes retakes due to movement and enables clearer radiographic outcomes with less chairside frustration.

At-a-glance comparison:

  • Bite blocks with adhesive vs. without: adhesive options secure the sensor and reduce movement compared with non-adhesive blocks
  • Posterior vs. anterior blocks: posterior blocks are sized and angled for back-tooth radiographs, while anterior blocks accommodate front-tooth imaging

This combination enables predictable sensor stability and standardizes imaging prep across operatories and providers when used with XIOS XG sensors.

What is it used for?

Yellow posterior bite blocks with adhesive position digital sensors during posterior dental radiography with the XIOS Plus Intraoral Sensor System, ensuring stable, repeatable placement for diagnostic imaging. They enable clinicians to reduce movement artifacts and capture clearer images with a consistent technique.

Common applications include:

  • Posterior periapical radiographs for restorative and endodontic evaluation with XIOS sensors
  • Bitewing imaging for caries detection in molars and premolars
  • Routine diagnostic imaging during hygiene and recall appointments
  • Standardized sensor positioning across multiple operatories
  • Reducing retakes due to movement or misalignment

Sizing & selection

Correct bite-block selection improves image clarity, patient comfort, and workflow efficiency during radiographic procedures.

Orientation selection:

Posterior bite blocks are tailored for back-tooth imaging, where sensor positioning is deeper and often more challenging. For anterior views, choose anterior-oriented blocks (blue color coding). Vertical bitewing blocks use red color coding.

Adhesive preference:

Adhesive backing secures the sensor, reducing movement. Consider adhesive blocks when stability is a priority, particularly with less cooperative patients or in high-volume practices. Peel-and-stick design makes positioning quick and easy.

Compatibility with sensors:

These blocks are designed specifically for the XIOS Plus Intraoral Sensor System, including XIOS XG sensors. Confirm that the bite block design and size are suitable for the sensors used, including digital sensor thickness, to ensure a secure fit and minimal distortion.

Disposable workflow:

Disposable bite blocks maintain infection control and reduce complex cleaning between patients. Single-use accessories should be discarded after each patient. Packaging accommodating easy access maintains consistent use and quicker operatory prep.

Sirona XIOS Plus adhesive bite blocks enable accurate radiographs and smoother clinical routines when stable posterior sensor positioning and predictable imaging matter.

Explore other options

Multiple positioning tools accommodate varied imaging needs with XIOS systems.

  • Anterior bite blocks (blue color coding) for front-tooth imaging
  • Vertical bitewing blocks (red color coding) for periodontal assessments
  • XCP Extension Cone Paralleling Arms and Rings for enhanced positioning
  • Sensor sleeves and barriers for infection control during radiography
  • Universal sensor holders for compatible imaging workflows

Tailored positioning supplies match technique, provider preference, and operatory setup for consistent imaging quality.

Care & storage

Store bite blocks properly to maintain cleanliness and readiness.

  • Store in a clean, dry area near the radiography setup
  • Keep boxes closed between uses to reduce contamination exposure
  • Open bite blocks chairside only when ready for imaging
  • Avoid excessive heat that may affect adhesive properties
  • Dispose of used bite blocks per office protocols
Frequently asked questions
  1. Can these bite blocks be used with digital sensors in my practice?Yes. These are designed specifically for the XIOS Plus Intraoral Sensor System, including XIOS XG sensors, to provide secure positioning for posterior radiographs.
  2. Do the adhesive bite blocks reduce sensor movement during my procedures?Yes. Adhesive backing holds the sensor in place, reducing movement that can cause retakes or blurred images. The durable composition allows reliable positioning.
  3. Are these bite blocks disposable in my infection control protocol?Yes. These are single-use disposable accessories that should be discarded after each patient to maintain infection control standards.
  4. Can they reduce retakes in my radiography workflows?Yes. They reduce retake needs by providing more stable sensor positioning and predictable placement specifically designed for XIOS sensor systems.
  5. What should I do if the adhesive feels weak during my imaging procedures?Use a fresh bite block to ensure secure sensor placement and clear image capture. Store properly away from excessive heat to maintain adhesive properties.
