    1. Incipient bone loss –slight crestal bone loss of < 1.0 –2.0mm, but less than 20%
    1. Moderate bone loss –evidence of ~20% up to 50% bone loss
    1. Advanced bone loss –evidence of 50% or more of bone loss; evidence of vertical defects
31
Q

Incipient bone loss
- shape/crest?
- bone level to physiologic height?
- mm?, but less than %?

A
  • blunted, non-corticated crest
  • bone level is apical to
    physiologic height
  • < 1.0 – 2.0mm, but less than
    20%
32
Q

A

incipient bone loss

33
Q

Moderate Bone Loss
- shape of crest

A

blunted, non-corticated crest
- prominent loss of alveolar bone height

34
Q

35
Q

Moderate vs. Advanced Bone Loss
-shape of crest
- prominent loss of?

A

  • prominent loss of alveolar bone height
36
Q

Advanced (severe)Bone Loss
