Radiology Pt. 3 Flashcards
gingivitis radiographically
cannot see until it is periodontitis
peridontium progression
crestal lamina dura to apical lamin dura
normal alveolar crest to CEJ
2mm apical, parallels adj CEJ
shape of CEJ in post vs ant
flat in post and pointed in the ant.
shape of alveolar crest
paralleles line from two adj CEJs, can be slanted
loss at an angle, that is parallel to CEJs
horizontal loss
vertical loss
loss that is not parallel to the adj CEJs
maxillary branch of trigeminal
through rotundum, under orbit called infraoribital n. –> ant. sup. alveolar n. which supply maxillary teeth
Needs to be visible in order to detect incipient (early) caries in a radiograph
the inter-proximal spaces on a BW
Periapical radiograph
shows the crown and all of the root including 2-3mm of surrounding bone
first site of periodontitis
loss of alveolar crest
calculus
local irritant and change in outline form and radiopaque
Classifications of Furcations
I=incipient
II=partial
III=complete
IV=visible clinically
Furcation more visible in max or mand molars
mand molars b/c palatal root (3 roots) in maxilla
Panoramic
mandible + TMJ, ramus and maxilla + maxillary sinus
