Using crestal lamina dura on radiographs
Integrity of crestal lamina dura is NOT an appropriate indicator
Buccal and lingual craters can be found of ____ defects
Two walled defects
Furcation bone loss
Sometimes gives false positive so you need to use furcation probe
Size of PDL space
.4-1.5mm
Thickened radicular lamina dura might indicate
Occlusal trauma
