Occlusal balancing, also known as occlusal adjustment or bite adjustment, is a dental procedure performed to achieve an even and harmonious contact between the upper and lower teeth when the jaws are closed. The goal of occlusal balancing is to create a stable and properly aligned bite, which can improve oral function and reduce the risk of dental problems.

Root canal-treated teeth often require dental crowns to prevent vertical root fractures and to ensure their long-term strength and functionality.

Bitewing dental X-rays are a type of dental radiograph that provides a detailed view of the upper and lower back teeth (premolars and molars) in a single image. These X-rays are called "bitewing" because the patient bites down on a small tab or wing-shaped device that holds the X-ray film or sensor in place, allowing for a clear and consistent view of specific areas of the mouth.
