103
Q

Dental images are used in the classification of periodontal disease.
• The updated American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) guidelines classify the amount of radiographic bone loss present to determine the stage of disease. Radiographic bone loss seen in periodontal disease is categorized as follows:

A

• Stage I Radiographic Bone Loss in the coronal third of the root < 15%.
• Stage II Radiographic Bone Loss in the coronal third of the root from 15% to 33%
• Stage Ill Radiographic Bone Loss extending to the mid-third of the root including vertical bone loss and furcation involvement.
• Stage IV Radiographic Bone Loss extending to the mid-third of the root and beyond including vertical bone loss, furcation involvement, and tooth mobility.

104
Q

Stage I Radiographic Bone Loss

A

in the coronal third of the root < 15%.

105
Q

Stage II Radiographic Bone Loss in the

A

coronal third of the root from 15% to 33%

106
Q

Stage Ill Radiographic Bone Loss extending

A

to the mid-third of the root including vertical bone loss and furcation involvement.

107
Q

Stage IV Radiographic Bone Loss extending

A

to the mid-third of the root and beyond including vertical bone loss, furcation involvement, and tooth mobility.

108
