Muhtasari	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.	Occlusal analysis is a systematic clinical and instrumental examination that evaluates the relationships between the maxillary and mandibular teeth, the temporomandibular joint, and the muscles of mastication. Comprehensive occlusal analysis informs diagnosis of malocclusion, temporomandibular disorders, and guides prosthodontic and orthodontic treatment planning. The analysis integrates static occlusal relationships (centric relation, centric occlusion) with dynamic occlusal patterns (jaw movements) to assess functional harmony and identify occlusal interferences.	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.
