RADIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INFLAMMATORY LESIONS

TOPIC: RADIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INFLAMMATORY LESIONS

🌟 IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

🔸Periodontal Ligament Space: Accumulation of inflammatory exudates in the connective tissue of the periodontal ligament causes oedema and this causes widening in the periodontal ligament space. The non-pathological reasons for widening of periodontal ligament space are terminal stage of root formation.

🔸Lamina Dura: Loss or decrease of the visibility of lamina dura has been considered as an indication of local or systemic disease. In moderate-to-severe inflammation cases, a collar-shaped increase in the thickness of the lamina dura at the lateral aspect of the root may be found.
