Q

What are some limitations of 2-D Conventional Radiographs?

A
  1. Buccal alveolar bone hides bone loss on lingual aspect of a tooth.
  2. Palatal root makes it difficult to visualize furcation on maxillary molars
  3. Non calcified periodontal components are not seen

Q

When assessing furcation involvement it is often greater than it appears on the radiograph, it is not seen on the radiograph until the bone resorption extends past the furcation area, and it is easier to see on mandibular than maxillary.
