“…This frequency is similar to those reported in other surveys (Larato, 1970;Nielsen et al, 1980;Saari et al, 1968) although higher frequencies have been reported for patients at the time of surgerv (Manson and Nicholson. 1974) and for En; skeletal population from India (Rees et al, 1971).…”

“…Nonuniform or vertical bone loss is characterized by defects that extend into the alveolar bone. Beginning with Goldman and Cohen (1958), authors have proposed or clarified schemes for defect classification based on the numbers and locations of the osseous walls that surround the defect, with various terms being used: craters, hemisepta, inconsistent margins, furcal invasions, intrabony pockets, and infrabony pockets (Prichard, 1960;Glickman, 1972;Manson and Nicholson, 1974;Schluger et al, 1978;Grant et al, 1979;Tal, 1984). In an attempt to standardize nomenclature, Karn and associates (1984) suggest specific criteria for identifying various types of nonuniform alveolar bone loss.…”

Many physical anthropological studies require that an observer or device discriminate between states that can be easily confused. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis currently offers the best method for determining the accuracy of such choices, particularly for small sample sizes. Although ROC analysis is widely accepted in psychophysical and biomedical testing, its use in anthropological studies has not been reported. ROC analysis is used here to determine the usefulness of enhanced dental radiographs to assess vertical alveolar bone defects for quantitative studies of human variation with regard to periodontal disease. The presence or absence of vertical-bony defects (truth) for 75 human skulls was established by the consensus of two trained observers. Dental bitewing-radiographs were taken of the alveolar processes, the radiographs digitized, and the brightness and contrast of the digital images enhanced. The two observers who established truth then rated 1) plain bitewing radiographs, 2) unenhanced digital images of bitewings, and 3) enhanced digital images of bitewings for vertical bony defects. The rating scale varied from 1 (vertical defect definitely or almost definitely present) to 5 (definitely or almost definitely absent). ROC analysis was used to compared the diagnostic value of the 3 imaging modalities. All modalities had nearly identical diagnostic performance, measured as Az values (areas beneath ROC curves) that were less than 0.80, which indicates only moderate usefulness. It is concluded that enhancement does not increase success in vertical-bony-defect diagnosis from digital dental radiographs processed in this manner. Moreover, it is suggested that conventional bitewing radiographs may be unsuitable for accurate quantification of such defects.

“…Periodontal disease shows radiographic changes that usually starts as a “fuzziness” or discontinuity of the lamina dura on the mesial and distal aspects of the interdental septa [1] [11]. This will then transform into a wedge-shaped radiolucent area in the interdental septa.…”

“…Afterwards, bone destruction will appear to extend across the interdental septa and finally as a marked reduction in the height of interdental septum, resulting in a periodontal bone defect. However, there are several anatomical factors that can affect the morphology of periodontal bone defects including [11] [1] (Box 1). Additional factors that can complicate interpretation of the morphology of periodontal bone include the presence of exostoses, trauma from occlusion, buttressing bone formation, and food impaction [11] [1].…”

Summary While the mainstay of periodontal assessment is clinical probing, radiographic assessment is also commonly employed and has the potential to provide facile quantitative information on the status of tooth-supporting bone. This article provides a brief review of standard methods to assess periodontal structures, including basic tenants of radiograph acquisition, assessment of alveolar crest levels, and typical patterns of bone loss seen in periodontal patients. Studies of the use of computer technology to objectively assess loss of alveolar crest from standardized and non-standardized radiographs are reviewed. Several recent developments in computer-assisted quantitation of alveolar crest height are described. Although probing measurements continue to be viewed as more practical than radiographic measurements, radiographic assessment can be made quantitative and likely easier and more precise than probing for routine assessment of periodontal disease activity.
