Claim 0:
1. A dental x-ray imaging system for producing an intraoral x-ray image with reduced motion blur comprising:
an intraoral x-ray sensor, which can be placed inside the mouth of a patient, in the beam path of a handheld x-ray emitter positioned outside the mouth of the patient, and behind patient tissue to be irradiated,
wherein the x-ray imaging system is configured to record two or more temporally sequential individual x-ray images of the patient tissue during respective exposures in a recording session, and
wherein the x-ray imaging system is configured to create an overall x-ray image 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.
