Kokkuvõte	Bitewing radiography is a standard intraoral radiographic technique that captures the coronal portions of both maxillary and mandibular teeth in a single image, with the patient biting on a film holder or digital sensor. Introduced in the early 20th century and formalized as a diagnostic standard, bitewing radiographs are the primary image type for detecting approximal caries, monitoring alveolar bone level for periodontal disease assessment, and evaluating dental restorations and radiographic density changes. Digital bitewings have reduced radiation exposure and improved image quality and archiving.	Tooth mobility assessment is a clinical examination that evaluates the amount and direction of movement of a tooth when lateral force is applied. Increased tooth mobility indicates loss of periodontal support (bone loss), trauma from occlusion, or other pathology affecting tooth attachment. Systematic mobility grading enables quantification of tooth stability, guides treatment planning, and assesses prognosis in periodontal disease and post-traumatic cases.
