What is the lamina dura?
The teeth sockets are bounded by a thin radiopaque layer of dense bone
The teeth sockets are bounded by a thin radiopaque layer of dense bone called…
lamina dura
Why does the lamina dura look more radiopaque?
tooth is constantly pulling on it (causing stimulus)
What are the parts of the tooth?
lamina dura
lamina dura
What is the PDL space?
space between the root of the tooth and the lamina dura
What is the part of bone that is attached to the cementum by fibers?
lamina dura
What is the lamina dura continuous with?
alveolar crest
List the parts of the tooth from the most radiopaque to least?
enamel, dentin, pulp
What is the alveolar crest?
Is the gingival margin of the alveolar
process between teeth (radiopaque line)
What is the gingival margin of the alveolar process between teeth?
alveolar crest
alveolar crest
The alveolar crests (arrows) are seen as _______ borders of the alveolar bone
cortical
What do we want to see on the radiograph?
1-2 millimeters between alveolar crest and CEJ is healthy

What is the periodontal ligament space?
It appears as a radiolucent space between the tooth root and the lamina dura.
What appears as a radiolucent space between the tooth root and the lamina dura?
periodontal ligament space
periodontal ligament space
periodontal ligament space
double periodontal ligament space
Why can you see a double PDL space sometimes?
A double periodontal ligament space and lamina dura may be seen when there is a convexity of the proximal surface of the root resulting in two heights of contour
