RADIOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF TOOTH LOSS IN PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Abstract

The diagnosis of periodontal disease is established after obtaining a medical history and a detailed clinical examination, corroborated with complementary examinations of the patient. Assessment of the supporting periodontium are necessary and even mandatory imaging explorations, which provide information about the type of alveolar lysis, its size, possible involvement of the interradicular area, the relationship of bone lysis with proximal carious lesions, fillings and incorrectly adapted dental crowns.
