There are four chief types of defects of the alveolar bone:

  1. horizontal defects
  2. vertical defects
  3. fenestrations
  4. dehiscenses
This X-ray film displays horizontal defects.
This X-ray film displays horizontal defects.
This X-ray film displays two lone-standing mandibular teeth, #21 and #22, or the lower left first premolar and canine, exhibiting severe bone loss of 30-50%. Widening of the PDL surrounding the premolar is due to secondary oclcusal trauma.
