Claim 10:
11. A dental x-ray imaging method for producing an intraoral x-ray image with reduced motion blur, in particular by means of an x-ray imaging system according to claim 1,
wherein an intraoral x-ray sensor is placed inside the mouth of a patient, in the beam path of an, in particular handheld, x-ray emitter positioned outside the mouth of the patient, and behind patient tissue to be irradiated, and
wherein two or more temporally sequential individual x-ray images of the patient tissue are recorded during respective exposures, and
wherein an overall x-ray image is created from the or some of the temporally sequential individual x-ray images such that the results of the respective exposures are merged and a motion occurring between and/or during the sequential individual x-ray images is compensated so as to produce an exposure-blended intraoral x-ray image with reduced motion blur.
