תקציר	Periodontal probing is a clinical assessment technique that measures the depth of gingival crevices and periodontal pockets to diagnose periodontal disease. Introduced by the American Academy of Periodontology in the mid-20th century, it remains the gold standard for assessing periodontal health status. The procedure evaluates the clinical attachment level and recession depth to identify inflammation, attachment loss, and disease progression.	Bone density assessment in dentistry evaluates the quantity and quality of alveolar bone supporting teeth or serving as an implant site. Assessment integrates radiographic imaging (panoramic radiographs, periapical films, and cone-beam computed tomography) and clinical examination to classify bone density into four categories (Type I to IV) and to quantify bone loss. Accurate bone density assessment is critical for implant planning, predicting implant success, and adjusting surgical and loading protocols to account for bone quality variations.
